We have 60,000 some members, and I know we have a couple from Wisco, but there has to be more!

I live in Oshkosh.

We visit Green Bay about twice a year. Some member or another of my Wife's family has been doing so since the late 50's.

As such, I have never been when the weather wasn't terrible and didn't have to hit the road right away. Is there a friendly tobacconist in town?

My nephew just started at UW LaCrosse! If he sees you smoking a pipe in public there's a good chance he will ask you about it.

I live in Chicago, but we have a little spit of land in Green County, outside Monroe, WI
I'm 90 minutes from Monroe and often thought about taking a drive up to Minhas Craft Brewery. Have you been to Minhas?

I have. They're a pretty big operation. They've done their signature product Heuber Bock for a hundred years, and also contract brewing for anyone who needs their capacity. Definitely worth a visit.

But, the real brewing gem in Monroe is a nano brewery called Bullquarian. They do - I think - 4 keg (2 barrel) batches of pretty much whatever they feel like, so there's constant experimentation and refinement. Most of the taps on their 10 tap rotation last about 3-4 weeks, so there's always a new reason to stop by.

PM me if you head up on a weekend. I may be able to meet up with you.

Bosse's news depot is the only decent tobacconist. They cater to cigar smokers. They have a small amount of briar pipes and blend there own tobacco. Also sell cobs and meerschaums. Unfortunately, they only have a few tins in stock that have been sitting for years because of the high prices.

In Iowa but 5 minutes from Hazel Green WI. Hit a Packer game once a year (to keep the wife happy, she is from WI). stayed in Oshkosh 2 weeks ago for the Broncos game.

WI has some beautiful areas.
