When you think of Wisconsin, certain things quickly come to mind, like our love of the Green Bay Packers, the best Cheese in the world, friendly WI residents and of course our love for barley and hops products. Because of this, Wisconsin has become a hot spot for Brew Pubs, and we list our favorite places to sip the suds around the state.

Titletown Brewing Company - Green Bay, WI
Our Green Bay, WI stop on the Brew Pub Tour takes us to a Green Bay landmark, no not Lambeau Field, but the
Dousman Street Depot which is now the Titletown Brewing Company. This historic location was officially named to the National Register of Historic Places in December of 1999. While there enjoy a great menu, atmosphere and brew along the Fox River in Downtown Green Bay. How can you not love a place with a beer named the "Johnny "Blood" McNally Red"!

South Shore Brewery - Ashland, WI
Since 1995 South Shore Brewery on Lake Superior's South Shore (thus the name) has been brewing up some of the best beers to come from Wisconsin's northern coastline. If you are in the area we suggest that this Brew pub is a must stop. Visitors will find a casual inviting atmosphere with excellent food at the Deep Water Grille. (Webmaster note: They also make a sweet Bloody Mary I might add!)

Northwoods Brewpub & Grill - Eau Claire, WI
Now don't get us wrong, when DW heads to the Chippewa Valley we always remember our friends at Leinenkugel's, and we recommend a tour of the famous Leine Lodge, but also include time for a stop at the Northwoods Brewpub and Grill in Eau Claire, WI. It was the first Microbrewery/Brewpub in West Central Wisconsin and continues to satisfy those who visit today. We suggest trying the Lil' Bandit Brown Ale or a Floppin' Crappie!

Riverstone Restaurant & Tavern - Eagle River, WI
Every month we highlight a restaurant in Wisconsin that has superior food, atmosphere and service, and today’s pick is one of my favorites in the entire Northwood’s. It’s called Riverstone and it’s located in the heart of Eagle River on Railroad Street. This is a restaurant that embraces the unusual. Riverstone has my favorite appetizer in Wisconsin and I do not say that lightly. It’s the Wisconsin Artisan Cheese Board, with 6 unique cheeses made in the Old World Tradition, in small batches. The cheeses start from the most mild – like feta, and work their way up to Stravecchio and Hook’s Blue Cheese out of Mineral Point. Other noteworthy appetizers include walleye cakes with cucumber wasabi and dill caper sauces and Hearth Bruschetta. Main dishes include prime rib, Mediterranean style lamb, baby back ribs, citrus glazed breast of duck and wild Alaskan King salmon. Desserts are a specialty, with their famous chocolate fountain, an old fashioned bread pudding, and an order-ahead dessert – the baked apple grand marnier with pastry cap and real whipped cream. Riverstone is located in a vintage building that features an 1880’s oak back bar, pressed tin ceiling, vintage tiled floors, stone fireplace, and a state-of-the-art exhibition kitchen. It has an award winning wine list, and a friendly staff. Congratulations to owners Ron and Cindy Meinholz and the entire Riverstone crew for creating one of the Northwood’s best restaurants!
