Sept 6, 2017- Monroe to Prairie du Chien

We went to the Swiss Colony Store and the Roth Kase cheese factory in Monroe.   If you want Swiss Colony Pics, look them up on line.  Beth liked this place and got animal pastas for grandkids.  Roth Kase cheese factory is worth a visit.  It was founded by and is wtill run by Swiss cheese makers.  Here we sampled a tasty offering called brick cheese.  "Brick" because that is the weights set on top to compress the cheese during fermentation step.  Several process steps take place in this room. For a coherent video tour, look-up Roth Kase on YouTube


The New Glarus Brewery is a (200,000 barrel a year) local beer maker which purchased equipment from a brewery in Germany that was being demolished.  Their most popular brand is Spotted Cow
There were four copper kettles, each at a different process step
We watched them shut down n restart line
Outside


We ate at Glarner Stube.  I enjoyed the steak sandwich, but Beth did not like something about undercooked pork,

We overnighted at County Inn and Suites in Prairie du Chien, WI.  next to Cabela's
