Description
Description
Although Wisconsin foodways contain much more than beer, brats, and cheese, these remain at the pinnacle of the state's fame--and rightly so. If you live in Wisconsin--or have simply visited--you know it's hard to imagine tailgating, graduating, or celebrating without the Big Three. To thoroughly research this book, Heather Kerrigan undertook a twenty-six-hundred-mile road trip crisscrossing the Badger State, seeking the hidden gems that locals frequent. She visited Wisconsin's best restaurants, creameries, breweries, butcher shops, and cheesemongers. In Beer, Brats, and Cheese, Kerrigan highlights the innovative flavors and unexpected delights found in these spots. Great beer isn't made only in Milwaukee, Sheboygan doesn't have a lock on the best bratwurst, and excellent cheeses don't just come from Monroe County. In fact, there are towns large and small, from the far north to the Illinois border, from Door County to the Mississippi River, that contribute to the state's amazing culinary experiences. Whether you're planning a bite-by-bite day trip or simply looking for a great place to eat or drink near home, this guide has you covered.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"For foodies, Wisconsin has a trinity to compete with new Orleans. . . . Kerrigan and family have traversed nearly every acre of the state in relentless pursuit of this trio in breweries brewpubs, taverns, bars, and restaurants."-- "Booklist"
"If you want to take a road trip for beer, brats, and cheese, then this is your Bible, and Heather Kerrigan is your beer, cheese, and brat prophetess. Reading this book will make you both hungry and thirsty, and you'll likely want to jump in your car and take a road trip, with Kerrigan riding shotgun."--Jeanette Hurt, author of Wisconsin Cocktails
"Reads like a love letter to Wisconsin's craft cheese and beer, as if this is your best friend telling you exactly where to go--and why. With Kerrigan's 'go here, not there' attitude, I felt like we were on a road trip together."--Kristine Hansen, author of Wisconsin Cheese Cookbook: Creamy, Cheesy, Sweet, and Savory Recipes from the State's Best Creameries
"If you weren't already chewing your way through some of the best drinking and dining spots in the state, you will after reading [this book]!"-- "Volume One"
"A treasured combination of Wisconsin culinary history and food themed travel guide. . . . Informative, exceptional, and an inherently fascinating read from start to finish."-- "Midwest Book Review"
