Next is Cheese Curd laws, and how to play Football on grass.

Wisconsin is pretty proud of their brandy old fashions.

When your stuck inside for 250 days of the yr because of the bitter cold. What better to do than become an alcoholic.

Stuck inside? Who says? Winter means no bugs - it’s a great time to be outside! They make this amazing stuff called “clothing” that, if used properly, makrs being outside comfortable in the vast majority of weather conditions. I’m a fan… full disclosure.

Should probably have a law on the complete package of fish fry, cheese curds, and a brandy old fashioned.

I should say, there is a huge difference between what WI people consider to be old fashioneds and how the cocktail is made everywhere else. I think it is great both ways.
