New Glarus

The Summer vacation season came to a close as we flew back into Milwaukee and took the opportunity to stock up on some of Wisconsin's finest. After finding out a favorite butcher shop in Madison had closed to move to another location, we headed to a favorite local stop in New Glarus, Wisconsin.

New Glarus is also known as Swiss Town based on its Swiss influence from its early settlers.
New Glarus is known for its local specialties from the Brewery Company, numerous meat shops, restaurants and bakeries. A favorite of the citizens of Wisconsin is New Glarus' own brews. Best known is Spotted Cow while a favorite of the Engelbert household is Totally Naked.



On Main Street is the town's bakery, meat shop and chocolate house. Every day there is something new to choose from in each one of the businesses. Today's new exploration is the Bubble Gum Fudge in the Chocolate Haus and the Rhubarb Bars in the Bakery.

Similar to the Herky on Parade campaign in Iowa City / Coralville, New Glarus painted cows to be placed at various spots throughout town.

Awesome, I'm drinking fat squirrel tonight. Was 10 miles from there about a month ago and didn't have an opportunity to stop, shame on me - woody
