New Glarus, Wisconsin is America’s Little Switzerland and the endpoint last weekend of an approximately 170 mile, three-day bike ride by my husband and a friend. I enjoyed a bit of exploring while they rode and we ended the adventure with a round of tasty beer from the New Glarus Brewing company, whose brewery looms over the town like a feudal castle over its medieval village.
Much of the little “downtown” area resembles nothing so much as a tiny bit of Switzerland, all the way down to the happy cows found throughout the town. Here’s just one example. Who knew Swiss cattle could cook?

How quirky. The cow looks very Swiss – love his outfit. 🙂
There were quite a few cows, all different, in the small downtown, all very Swiss-looking.

Dear Janet,
Udderly adorable. (You expect this from me and you get it. 😉 )
Shalom,
Rochelle
Nothing like fulfilled expectations. 🙂 Thanks for taking time from your busy schedule to drop by.

I certainly hope you picked up some of that New Glarus beer to take home! Spotted Cow is my absolute favorite. Living in Wisconsin has its perks!
We certainly did, Sue. Road Slush was our choice, as we like dark beer (me more than my husband). Speaking of perks of living in Wisconsin, have you tried any of the very many Carr Valley Cheeses? The best!!
janet
No! Dang it- I love cheese, too. We are in NE Wis so haven’t seen it up here. I have a friend in Madison tho- I’ll have to hit her up for some samples.
Here are the locations: http://www.carrvalleycheese.com/locations.html. We stop at Mauston every year on the way to, and sometimes from, Wyoming.
Good shot for the theme!
🙂 Thanks, Jane. Happy Sunday.

Is this the No Bull Hotel or All Bull Hotel?
And I know that you wouldn’t steer me wrong either way.
