"Wisconsin is a tavern state. That is a simple statement of fact, but behind it lies a complex and interesting brew of politics, economics, culture, and social mores. The Wisconsin bar has come in many different guises; stagecoach inn, sample room, blind pig, speakeasy, pharmacy, cocktail lounge, theme bar, disco, and brewpub. Each of these forms reflects the character and values of a generation. Come along with the authors on a tour of 70 distinctive bars and breweries around the state as they tap into the stories these buildings contain."--Publisher description.
