20 Things That People From Wisconsin Absolutely LOVE

One thing is for sure about Wisconsinites–they are fiercely loyal. Those loyalties are passed down from parents and grandparents. Once we find something we love, we don’t let it go. Here are some of the things that people from Wisconsin LOVE:

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
1. Cheese. You aren't going to meet a lot of vegans up here. Cheese is a part of every meal.

2. Beer. It doesn't really matter what type (heck, we're gotten numb to the taste of Milwaukee's Best)--but we're partial to Miller.
T-Bone Sandwich
3. Tailgating. No one does it better than the people in Green Bay. Sub-zero temperatures never stopped us.
Pat & Keri
4. The Green Bay Packers. Everyone gets behind them on Sunday.
Eyton Z
5. Brats. Where else is there a brat stand in front of a grocery store?
Michael Newman
6. Country music. Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney--it doesn't matter, we're all about it.
Larry Darling
7. Thrift shopping. We're frugal and we love to score a good deal.

8. Kringle. No wonder it's been named the state pastry because it is DELICIOUS.

9. Butter. It doesn't rival cheese, but it comes close. Mo butter, mo better!
Casey Bisson
10. Spreads--meat, cheese, a mix of both. We love to put this stuff on bread and crackers.
Julia Frost
11. 7up. There's just a special love for this drink up here.

12. Pickup trucks. But we legitimately need them up here to get through the storms.
DiamondBack Truck Covers
13. ATVs. A favorite thing to do with the family on the weekend. Warning: do not try this at home.
JD Hancock
14. Boating. Pontoon, canoe, sailboat--we do it all. Nothing is better than having a few beers with friends while taking in the views.
Jesper Hauge
15. Cabins. Many of our vacations are to cabins we own or our friends own. Such great memories for the youngsters in Wisconsin.

16. Fishing. With all of the lakes and rivers, this is a huge pastime in Wisconsin. We even fish in the ice!
Philip
17. Church. We're not all churchgoers, but there is definitely a large part of the population who goes every Sunday (and if the Packers are playing, you might hear a prayer for #12 to have a good game).
Bradley Siefert
18. Large breakfasts. This is definitely a carryover from the farm days when you really needed a big breakfast to carry you through the day. Pretty much every breakfast joint up here rocks.
Maria Casacalenda
19. Snow. Okay, so we don't love scraping our windshields off when it's 20 below, but we embrace the winter up here. I'd quote "Frozen" here but I'll spare ya.
Randen Pederson
20. Friends and family. More than anything, we love to be with the people who are important to us.
