"The pride and joy of Wisconsin beer boasts an enormous 75,000-square-foot brewery that’s a two-and-a-half-hour drive from the Windy City. See what the hype is about by sampling all the brews at the facility, which is modeled after a Bavarian village. There’s no kitchen but food trucks are often stationed on site to complement the drinking. Those interested in learning more can take a self-guided tour or sign up for one of the hard hat tours every Friday. And don’t forget to bring a case or two back; New Glarus is sold exclusively in Wisconsin." - Jeffy Mai
