M
with Cory Chisel
BY MARY RHODE / FOX CITIES CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU
According to the biography on his website, Cory
Chisel considers himself an old believer. That is,
someone that is considered an old soul. That wisdom of an old soul shines brightly through Cory’s
music and lyrics. Cory spent the majority of his
formative years in Appleton, moving here at age 8,
and considers it his hometown. As a child, Chisel
received a scholarship from an anonymous donor
to join the Appleton Boy Choir. That experience set
the stage for Cory’s life-long love for music. Chisel
is proud of his hometown and has made it a goal
to showcase it to his music friends.
CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU When you tell your music friends
about your hometown, what do you tell them?
CORY CHISEL There’s a lot to describe, but depending on whom I’m
talking to, I talk about things like the picturesque layout against the
river, our great downtowns, especially the one-mile stretch of College
Avenue in Appleton, and I always refer to the ‘notoriously friendly’
inhabitants.
CVB
Has growing up here influenced your music at all?
CC
It sure has. I think there’s a certain element of performance that
always intrigued me because of Houdini having lived in my hometown…that’s become part of me. Mostly, though, I think it’s the hard
work ethic that is so prevalent – it’s well-known worldwide – and
that definitely rubbed off on me. The idea of being on time, working
till the job is done well, that’s all part of being a musician in today’s
world and I couldn’t have had a better upbringing that way. And,
of course, I have a strong pride in the culture of the Upper Midwest
and all it has to offer.
CVB What made you want to have an event like Mile of Music in
your hometown?
CC That’s an easy one. Mile of Music has given me the chance
to show off my hometown like nothing else could…and not just to
my musician friends, but to thousands of folks who come from all
over the Upper Midwest. There are very few communities who
have this amazing combination of walkability, safety, venue variety,
personality and warmth, and an openness of the people to embrace
something new and slightly risky or challenging.
CVB
When you bring your friends to town for Mile of Music, where
do you take them first?
CC I like to show off Downtown Appleton and some of my favorite
nightlife places, including some of the down-home landmark clubs
like Cleo’s or Dr. Jekyll’s. I always take them to our excellent local
eateries like Stone Cellar Brewpub so they can experience our local
beers and locally-sourced foods. Restaurants, like Carmella’s, with
their made-from-scratch recipes
are must-stops. I always take them
past the Lawrence Memorial Chapel
to show them what I believe to be one
of the best music venues anywhere.
CVB What is your idea of a perfect
day in Appleton or the Fox Cities?
ALBUM
BELIEV
: OLD
ERS
CC Spending time with family and friends, but also just about
anyone you meet in the Fox Cities because they are so friendly
and interesting. I’d start with having a cup of coffee at one of
the many great coffee shops, then spending some time in one of
the great parks by the river. Depending on the season, visiting
Fox Cities Stadium for a Timber Rattlers game would be high on the
list because I love baseball. I always like to show off the area
where Harry Houdini lived as a child – make a disappearing
joke or two – and I always spend ample time enjoying a
combination of nightlife, culture and food.
CVB What advice do you have for any Fox Cities residents that
are aspiring musicians or singer/songwriters?
CC Ingest the culture of the town and the region you are from
and don’t be afraid to share it with the rest of the world in your
music and your writing – embrace it!
August 6-9
You can catch Cory and many of his music friends from all over the country at Mile
3, August 2015 in Downtown Appleton. For more information on Cory, his music
and the festival, visit CoryChisel.com or MileofMusic.com.

CVB
FOX CITIES CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU:
When are the best times to shop, time of day
and time of week?
JOHN BURGLAND: If you’re looking to avoid crowds, then
your best time to shop is during the week, particularly at
night. If you’re shopping Friday-Sunday, you need to expect
crowds any time on those days. People shop based upon a
need. If they need something, they’ll go shopping for it.
CVB
What’s the scoop on store sales?
JB
Store sales are a normal thing now. The best time to
shop the store sales are at the end of the sale or at the end of
a season to get the best bargains.
CVB
Mall?
Where are the best places to park at Fox River
JB
Your best bet is to look for the least congested area of
the parking lot. There are more parking stalls on the west side
of the mall, between Sears and JcPenney.
CVB
What are some of the mall services offered to
visitors?
JB
Some of the typical guest services include wheelchair
and stroller rentals. Both are available in the food court; the
wheelchairs are free, while the strollers are available for a fee.
If you’re looking for gift cards, the mall has a kiosk available
in the food court or they can be purchased at the Mall Office
which is open from 8am-4:45pm. The mall also has a public
safety department that is available for assistance to your
vehicle if needed.
a
Mall?
What should shoppers know about Fox River
JB
Fox River Mall has a large selection of merchants, both
in and around the mall property. There are 180 merchants
located inside Fox River Mall, but many more that surround
the mall. There are six department stores that anchor the mall
including Target and Macy’s. The rest of the mall is made up
of a broad spectrum of merchants offering items at various
price levels.
CVB 2014 brought the 30th Anniversary of Fox
River Mall. What has changed the most with the mall
in the last 30 years?
JB
One of the noticeable changes has been the progression
of merchants and the quality of those merchants. Other
changes of note are the overall mall layout, the easier access
in and out of the mall area, the amount of signage directing
visitors and how easily navigable the mall is, considering its
size. Fox River Mall is comparable to many malls in some of
the larger metropolitan areas in the United States.
CVB
What retail trends can you make mention of
both happening now and going forward?
JB
The retail industry continues to evolve and change.
There continues to be strong retail outlets that now must
compliment the online and catalogue merchants.
The shopping experience is about the experience of feeling
and touching merchandise. That experience is one that will
never go away. There will always be a need for the immediate
gratification you get from shopping at a brick and mortar.
The history between Santa and Fox River
Mall is a storied one. 2014 was Santa’s
19th year in a row bringing holiday cheer
to the greater Appleton area and beyond.
This Santa has a history with not only the
mall, but with the communities and the
people that live in those communities.
The Fox River Mall Santa is a popular
attraction every holiday season. “People
have grown up with him,” says John
Burgland, Senior General Manager of
Fox River Mall. “Just the other day, I was
getting my hair cut and the stylist asked
me when Santa was coming back to the
mall. She said that her significant other
had his first photo taken with that Santa
and now they would like their baby
daughter’s first photo taken with him as
well. That is truly the great story to tell.
Those that were young 19 years ago
are now bringing their kids back to the
same Santa they knew as children.”
When asked why this Santa is so popular
with mall visitors, Burgland replied
“There is a sense of continuity and
comfort with having the same Santa
year after year. For us, he’s the real Santa.”
Although some things have changed for
Santa over the 19 years, including a special
logoed truck he uses for transportation
around the Fox Cities and the digital
photo technology that now exists to
streamline the photo-taking process,
the quiet and kindness that exists in him
has stayed the same.
If you are unable to make it to the mall
during photo taking hours, you can
also catch this Santa at the annual
Downtown Appleton Holiday parade.

Brewers
WRITTEN BY MARY RHODE, MARKETING &
COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER, FOX CITIES CVB
Stone Cellar Brewpub dates back to 1858
when a German immigrant named Anton
Fischer built the building–the first brewery
in Outagamie County. In 1918, the business
(then called Fischer Brewery) was sold
to the Walter Brewing Co. which introduced Adler Brau to the Fox Cities. Then, in
1989, Adler Brau beer was back in production, not with the Walter Brewing Co.,
but under new ownership as the Adler Brau Brewery & Restaurant. In 2004, father
and son partners Tom and Steve Lonsway took over the brewery and restaurant that
exists today. The demand grew so much for their beers that in 2012, after seven
years, a brewery expansion was necessary. Stone Cellar Brewery soon became
the Stone Arch Brew House and there are now 100+ bars and restaurants in the
area where you can find your favorite Stone Arch Brew House beverage.
BEERS BREWED AT STONE ARCH
Stone Arch Houdini Honey Wheat
Stone Arch Marquette Pilsner
Stone Arch Six Grain Ale
Stone Arch India Pale Ale
Stone Arch Scottish Ale
Stone Arch Stout
Stone Arch Vanilla Stout
Stone Arch Specialty/Seasonal Beers
SPECIAL EVENTS AND BREWERY TOURS
There are three special events that take place every third month at Stone Cellar:
Beer vs. Wine, Beer Dinner and Beer School. Beer vs. Wine is a five course gourmet
dinner featuring a beer and a wine option paired with each course. The diner
then has the opportunity to vote on which beverage paired best with that course.
Beer Dinner features a beer from a different craft brewery.
Brewery tours are also available at the Stone Arch Brew House. Tours take place
Monday-Saturday year-round but are by appointment only. For more information
on taking a tour, please contact Stone Cellar at 920-731-3322.
AWARDS
Almost every one of the Stone Arch Brew House brews have won a gold, silver
or bronze medal at the North American Brewers Awards. The gold medal winners
are the Marquette Pilsner and the Stout.
TOM’S RECOMMENDATION
Tom’s favorite brew is the Six Grain Ale, his personal recipe. It’s an English Ale
brewed with barley, wheat, rye, oats, corn and rice. It is also the winner of a silver
medal at the North American Brewers Awards in 2006.

Appleton Beer Factory started as a dream of Jeff Fogle’s
in the 1980s while building brewery systems around the
country. He started brewing with his dad on a homemade
1⁄2 bbl system until Jeff’s son, Ben, was old enough to
help. Jeff taught Ben the process, and Ben brought his
college roommate, Carl, in on t he fun. Ben & Carl focused on
creating well-balanced beers and refined their recipes
during brew days over six years while their dedicated
friends gathered to watch the process and “taste test” the
previous batches. Four years went into planning the
business and gathering investors, and three years went
into self-performing over 25,000 hours of the build-out.
34 partners in the business are contributing their time,
resources, and talents to the company, in addition to the
35 employees working there daily.

SPECIAL EVENTS AND BREWERY TOURS
Appleton Beer Factory is currently working on having a self-guided tour document.
Our brew system is completely open for guests to see in the beer hall and our
staff is always happy to answer questions. Brew days are usually Saturdays or
Sundays every couple of weeks, so if you stop in on the weekend, you can see
(and smell!) the beer-making magic.
AWARDS
Appleton Downtown Inc: New Faces Award - presented to the business that has
made significant improvements to the building they call home
Death by Chocolate Event: Best Dessert
Finalists for the Post Crescent’s Best Of awards in the following categories:
New Restaurant, Beer Bar, & Brewery
MAIRI’S RECOMMENDATIONS
Mairi admits “We have an obvious and delicious priority – beer. Our goal is to put
top-notch brew in your glass while putting you in a friendly and fun atmosphere.” Appleton Beer Factory beers are crafted to deliver what is so often
missing from many beers on the market today – balance. This balance was
struck from passionate experimentation by knowledgeable brewers who have
focused on respecting the ingredients they use and the people they serve. All of
their beers are unfiltered with 100% natural ingredients.
Appleton Beer Factory’s top sellers rotate between Blonde, APA, & Hefeweizen.
They also have a strong following for our house-made, locally sourced food.
Our top sellers are the Rueben and Hangover Burger (beef cooked to order,
corned beef hash, fried egg, & gruyere cheese on a brioche bun!).

AWARDS

JAY’S RECOMMENDATIONS
When asked what his beer and pairing
recommendations were, Jay didn’t
hesitate at all. With so many options
to choose from, Jay had to name two of
Fox River Brewing’s delicious beers as
his favorites. For the summer months,
Jay recommends the Blu Berry Ale and
during the other seasons of the year, he
recommends the Scottish Ale.
When it comes to pairing good beer with
great food, Jay recommends you try the
Bruschetta Chicken is expertly paired
with the Fox Light Ale. Another great
menu option would be the Chive Turkey
paired with the Blu Berry Ale.
ARTICLE
The Supple brothers, Jay and John,
opened the Fox River Brewing Company
inside the Fox River Mall in 1997.
Their goal is to create a nice, casual
atmosphere for their patrons to enjoy
food and the brewery experience. They
enjoy pairing their beers with food on
their menu so the flavors can play off of
each to enhance your experience at their
restaurant.
