After a chilly night of sleep (my
sleeping bag is quite amazing though), we woke up and started the fire, put on a pot of coffee and a had delicious breakfast burrito meal. There's nothing like it, really. Later that morning, we decided to take a field trip to the
New Glarus Brewing Company. Their new operation is only a few months old, and it's really quite amazing. We enjoyed a little beer tasting in the garden (thanks Amy!). I tried
Moon Man,
Stone Soup, and
Wisconsin Belgium Red. We also hit the shop, and loaded the trunk with
Totally Naked and
Staghorn Oktoberfest. After the brewery, we stopped in
New Glarus -- a charming little town of Swiss heritage. The
Wilhelm Tell Festival was going on, but we didn't stop and see that. We did, however, go to
Ruef's Meat Market and the
New Glarus Bakery, where we shared a delicious
Bienenstich cake (among other things -- like a cream horn, and an almond horn). I have a request in to learn how to make it -- will definitely need to try it out soon! That afternoon, we went for another little hike, then went fishing. H caught a bunch of little fish, but C wasn't as lucky. In the end though, H's prized fishing pole went falling right into the water, and we couldn't save it. He was crushed. But we reminded him that it's probably time for him to retire the Spiderman pole anyhow. Dinner was hot dogs and brats from Ruef's. Absolutely amazing. It was a fantastic day.
