I know Laverne and Shirley are long gone (at least off of the TV) but the adult beverages are still prominent in the land of cheese, beer and wine and that land is Fish Creek, Wisconsin in Door County. Visitors to this part of Wisconsin get to enjoy water sports on Lake Michigan in the summer, take snowmobile tours and sled rides in the winter and enjoy harvest time of the fall. Fall is the time when orchards and vineyards are harvested of their bountiful fruits.
When coming to the Fish Creek area in Door County, one can find lodging fairly easily and call it home base while each day consists of branching out and exploring the local sites and sounds. Fish Creek is a small town that is over 150 years old and began as a fishing village teaming with lumberjacks and farmers. With hard work ethic embraced by those of the past, calling it a day and enjoying a beer or flask of wine was probably pretty normal.
Today in Door County there is only one brewery that calls this place home and they enjoy making craft brews both seasonal and flagship beers. Their variations include IPA, wheat, copper ale, blonde, porter and a fall time favorite; pumpkin ale with hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. Since the microbrew revolution in the 90’s breweries have been pairing food with beer and providing that in their restaurants. Ribs, locally caught fish and pasta all pair very well with the beer variations previously mentioned.
This region is also home to vineyards and therefore wineries especially with the prominent existence of fruit orchards. As with beer and food pairings, wine and food definitely go together. The local wine produced in Door County boasts of light tanins made to allow the palate to taste the fare. With that being said, wine bars allow the customer to taste local wine with local food.
Fish Creek, Wisconsin in Door County provides fun, activity and good fare and drink to those who arrive weary and tired.
