Butterkäse

Light and refreshing drinks go down well with rich and decadent butterkäse. Stock the fridge with pilsner, pale ale, lager, kolsch or a slightly sweet German weiss beer. If wine sounds better, chardonnay and grüner veltliner are both good choices. Brandy, port and other digestifs and dessert wines will also never turn down a date with butterkäse.

Amber Ale

Originally hailing from the West Coast of America, easy-to-drink ambers strike what we think is the perfect balance of hops to malt.

Amber Ale

American Pale Lager

Golden, light, and refreshing, American pale lager is typically a lightly hopped and malted, balanced brew with a slightly bitter finish.

Pilsner

Named for the Czech Republic city of Pilsen, pilsner is light and refreshing with the absolute slightest hint of hops.

Pilsner

Sour Ale

Sour ales rely on wild fermentation for their distinctly earthy, funky, tangy, and fruity flavors.

Sour Ale

Bourbon

We’re crazy about this All-American, barrel-aged beauty, and we proclaim bourbon one of America’s best and tastiest inventions.

Brandy

Typically served as an after-dinner drink, amber-colored brandy is a bright, and oftentimes slightly spicy, distilled wine usually aged in oak.

Brandy

Old Fashioned

The Old Fashioned is one of our all-time favorite cocktails, and although it can certainly be made with whiskey, in Wisconsin we always prefer ours with brandy.

Old Fashioned

Rum

Crafted from sugar cane, this sweet, light-to-dark colored, often caramelly spirit is our Tiki time favorite.

Rum

Rosé

Caught somewhere between white and red wine, rose's flavor notes can run the gambit from red fruit to citrus to rhubarb and everywhere in between.

Rosé

Chardonnay

With flavors ranging from crisp to creamy, chardonnay is a global favorite for good reason.
