New Glarus Brewery has a clear answer for anyone wondering whether its major expansion means Spotted Cow and other favorites will finally leave the state. In a post on X today, the employee-owned brewery stated: “We get asked a lot lately: ‘With the expansion opening next year, are you going to distribute outside of Wisconsin?’ The answer is simple.

This Wisconsin Bakery Has Sugar-Free Treats That Don’t Skimp On Flavor

The cheesecake bars alone get my attention. Creamy vanilla cheesecake sits on an almond flour crust with whipped cream on top.
