Morning Minute: Great Lakes Distillery
On August 24, 2015, the Assembly Committee on State Affairs and Government Operations held an informational hearing and tour at the Great Lakes Distillery in Milwaukee, WI followed by an informational hearing at MillerCoors Brewery.
Milwaukee, USA: In Motion!
We spent five days in Milwaukee in May 2016, and were completely (and very pleasantly) surprised by how cool Milwaukee is!
If we had to come up with one word to describe Milwaukee, it'd definitely be entrepreneurial. We met a lot of small business owners who are changing the face of the city, and we also learned about the big Milwaukeean dynasties like Pabst and Miller that built the city in centuries past.
In this video, the locations you see are as follows:
The Milwaukee River and riverfront/riverwalk in downtown -- on weekend evenings, Milwaukeeans jump on their boats and cruise up and down the river. We grabbed a beer at Rock Bottom Brewery and watched it all happen!
A view of downtown Milwaukee as seen from the 6th Street Viaduct. In the bottom left-hand of the shot, you can see the Harley-Davidson Museum, which is a cool thing to do in Milwaukee, even if you don't like motorcycles. We also suggest you stop by the Great Lakes Distillery, for drinks and a tour near the viaduct, and the Iron Horse hotel for food!
The historical-looking building is Milwaukee's City Hall, and the really cool-looking modern building is the Art Gallery.
Around 0:22, you'll see Old World Third Street. It's the historical German area of town, and even today there are many German restaurants and artisan food producers that have been operating in the same spot for more than 100 years! We took a food tour with Milwaukee Food Tours, and learned all about the German influence on Milwaukee.
Milwaukee is synonymous with BEER, and one of the best things to do in Milwaukee is to go on a brewery tour. We went on the Miller tour, which was FREE and included samples. We also went on the Lakefront Brewery Tour - one of the best (and funniest) in the country. The Lakefront tour charges, but is very worthwhile, and includes free samples, a free gift, and some hilarious memories!
Other locations include:
The Bronz Fonz
The Harley-Davidson Museum
Milwaukee Public Market
Bayview Neighborhood
The Pabst Mansion
Walkers Point
The hotel at the end is the Potawatomi Hotel & Casino, where we were hosted. The hotel is quite new, and was built for visitors to the city, and visitors to the casino. It's really well located for visiting the Harley Museum...only a short walk away.
Thanks to Visit Milwaukee for hosting us during our time in Milwaukee. We had a tonne of fun.

Wisconsin Foodie - Weston's Antique Apple Orchard
In this episode of Wisconsin Foodie we travel to New Berlin, WI to visit one of Wisconsin’s original and most creative apple orchards, Westons Antique Apple Orchard. Westons Orchard treats the apples as art and prides themselves on over 120 unique varieties, some on the verge of extinction. We meet with Kenneth Weston, conductor of the Orchard, and hear his story of how he and his family fell in love with the Apple. Taking over for her father is Genevieve Weston, as she looks to find unique ways of distilling their unique apples. Genevieve decides to launch a spin off company selling single press cider and other products with local musician and cider maker Ethan Keller. Their business is called Sunnyslope. We then follow Sunnyslope to New Glarus Brewery to meet Brewmaster Dan Carey and delivery 100 gallons of cider. We also visit “Apple Sauced” an event hosted by Edible Milwaukee and MKE Foodies at Great Lakes Distillery.

Around the Corner with John McGivern | Program | Portage (#812)
[Original Airdate: March 28, 2019]
Portage is the kind of place whose people light it up from the inside out. And that was a really good thing in September of 2018 because between the rain and the mosquitoes, John didn’t want to be outside much!
In between dodging the raindrops and swatting the bugs, he had very climate-controlled and fun visits with the American Legions folks, the police chief, the live-in caretaker at the Zona Gale House, the shop owners of the Mercantile and the Portage House of Clocks, and the business owners of Loggerhead Deco, PendaForm, Cascade Mountain and Northshore Restaurant.
Of course, our videographer was eaten alive shooting the exteriors, but as John said (usually from the comfort of the van and referring to the technical crew members), it was worth the pint of blood the Portage mosquitoes charged!

Lake and Wetland Restoration: A Tale of Three Systems
Presented by Alan Steinman - Director of Grand Valley State University's Annis Water Resources Institute (MI)
Excess nutrient runoff is negatively impacting aquatic ecosystems in the Great Lakes and throughout the world. Understanding these impacts and how to mitigate them have become, for better or worse, something of a growth industry in the environmental and ecological disciplines. In this talk, I will describe three coastal systems located in west Michigan that have been exposed to a history of environmental abuses. Excess nutrients, phosphorus in particular, have resulted in impaired ecological structure and function, including potentially toxic algal blooms. I will discuss the unique attributes of each system, the nature of the key stressor(s), our restoration approach, and how successful we have been in meeting our restoration targets. Two key themes underpinning our efforts include: 1) a modest upfront investment in scientific investigations can save substantial resources in the long run, despite societal anathema to “studies”; and 2) post-restoration monitoring is critical to assess restoration success, and when necessary, be sufficiently nimble to make adjustments as necessary.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

SUMMARY
=======
American cuisine reflects the history of the United States, blending the culinary contributions of various groups of people from around the world, including indigenous American Indians, African Americans, Asians, Europeans, Pacific Islanders, and South Americans. Early Native Americans utilized a number of cooking methods in early American Cuisine that have been blended with early European cooking methods to form the basis of American cuisine. The European settlement of the Americas yielded the introduction of a number of various ingredients, spices, herbs, and cooking styles to the latter. The various styles continued expanding well into the 19th and 20th centuries, proportional to the influx of immigrants from many different nations; this influx nurtured a rich diversity in food preparation throughout the country.
When the colonists came to the colonies, they farmed animals for clothing and meat in a similar fashion to what they had done in Europe. They had cuisine similar to their previous Dutch and British cuisines. The American colonial diet varied depending on the settled region in which someone lived. Commonly hunted game included deer, bear, buffalo, and wild turkey. A number of fats and oils made from animals served to cook much of the colonial foods. Prior to the Revolution, New Englanders consumed large quantities of rum and beer, as maritime trade provided them relatively easy access to the goods needed to produce these items: rum was the distilled spirit of choice, as the main ingredient, molasses, was readily available from trade with the West Indies. In comparison to the northern colonies, the southern colonies were quite diverse in their agricultural diet.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, Americans developed many new foods. During the Progressive Era of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, c. 1890s–1920s, food production and presentation became more industrialized. One characteristic of American cooking is the fusion of multiple ethnic or regional approaches into completely new cooking styles. A wave of celebrity chefs began with Julia Child and Graham Kerr in the 1970s, with many more following after the rise of cable channels, such as the Food Network and Cooking Channel, in the late 20th century.
