A storied history ...
New Glarus Brewing Company has
wasted no time establishing itself
as a world class operation. In 1992,
Daniel Carey passed the Diploma
Master Brewer's Exam at the Institute
of Brewing, London - the first and
only American to do so since 1978.
Deborah Carey, one of life's entrepreneurial spirits, raised the capital for
the start-up as a gift to her husband,
establishing her as the first woman to
found and operate a brewery in the US.
In June of 1993, Daniel and Deborah
converted an abandoned warehouse in
New Glarus into New Glarus Brewing
Company's original Riverside Brewery.
The first barrels rolled out in November of 1993 - the fastest micro brewery
start-up ever.
Dan and Deborah have successfully
combined their business management
and brewing professionalism with their
philosophy based on individuality,
cooperation and use of 100% natural
ingredients to produce world class,
hand-crafted beers for their friends in
Wisconsin. Although Daniel and Deborah's goal has never been to be a 'big'
brewery, they have expanded to take
care of all of their friends in Wisconsin. The most recent, and certainly the
largest, expansion is their new Hilltop
Brewery. Building from the ground up,
Deborah and Daniel designed a brewery that is as functional as it is beauti2
ful. Finding a cozy home on the hill
south of town, Hilltop is the home to
their state of the art waste water treatment facility, as well as the birthplace
of their year round and seasonal brews.
(Riverside is now closed to the general
public except for Hard Hat Tours, but
continues to brew their specialty lines,
such as the Thumbprint and R & D
Series.) Together these two breweries
yielded approximately 195,000 barrels
last year. Winning numerous awards,
far too many to list here, regionally and
worldwide since their establishment,
their list of awards grows longer daily.
Only in Wisconsin.
Producing over 50 beers since their
ception, New Glarus Brewing Company's line-up this year includes 14 beer
varieties of the world's finest brews.
Three beers are offered year ‘round
(Spotted Cow, Two Women, Moon
Man); other varieties were designed
to complement annual holidays and
offer seasonal variety throughout the
year (Coffee Stout, Pumpkin Pie Lust,
Fat Squirrel, Wisconsin Belgian Red,
Serendipity, Raspberry Tart, Totally
Naked, Dancing Man Wheat, Staghorn
Octoberfest, Scream IIPA, Apple Ale)
- with a couple of surprises for good
measure.
An invitation to visit …

America’s “Little Switzerland” – an original Swiss settlement
Grüezi, Welcome to New Glarus!
America’s “Little Switzerland”
An original Swiss settlement since 1845
Located in the rolling hills of Southwestern Wisconsin, in the heart of Green County, is the village known
as America’s “Little Switzerland.” New Glarus was established as a Swiss Colony in 1845, and has retained
its Swiss charm in everything from the Alpine-style
architecture and colorful flower-filled window boxes
down to gourmet food.
Feast upon Swiss and European delicacies such as
Weinerschnitzel & Swiss Onion Soup, Geschnetzlets
& Roeschti Potatoes, Raclette & Cordon Bleu, or
enjoy a Fondue of Beef Bourguignonne, Cheese or
Chocolate. Pair them all with a glass of wine from our
local winery or a frothy glass of beer from our awardwinning brewery, and you’ll certainly have a memorable dining experience.
Our retail shops offer up a wonderful afternoon of shopping entertainment. You will
marvel at the Swiss & European craftsmanship of many handmade & imported items,
local fine art, beautiful jewelry, home decor and collectibles. Your mouth will water
upon discovering the locally-made fudge, ice cream and local cheeses. Your nose will
direct you toward the Swiss pastries, hearth-baked breads, and specialty sausages. And
all along your trek you’ll hear the soft sounds of carefree and happy Swiss music and
polkas to help you enjoy your day.
Take a stroll back in time at the Swiss Historical Village located in a peaceful park-like
setting. There are 14 historical buildings to explore, including an original settler’s log
home, Swiss church, Swiss bee haus and a country school. Encountering 19th Century
life is sure to be a family favorite.
The surrounding countryside is a biker’s dream of curvy, hilly roads where you’ll pass
Brown Swiss cows, historic farmsteads and picturesque scenery around every turn. You
can also hike, bike or stroll along the 23-mile Sugar River Trail as it follows the winding
Little Sugar River, or take the pathway to the New Glarus State Woods. Golf enthusiasts
will find two scenic courses tucked in the rolling hills, and there’s even a miniature golf
course complete with live goats.
Some of the best weekends to experience New Glarus are the festival weekends. You
can select a festival that celebrates our Swiss heritage, such as Polkafest, Heidi Festival,
Volksfest or Wilhelm Tell Festival. On those occasions you are sure to hear spirited
polka bands, lively yodeling and resounding alphorns. Sample local and regional specialties at Beer, Bacon & Cheese Festival and Music Fest, Firemen’s Fest with lots if kids
activities. Our Oktoberfest is a grand celebration with plenty of music and New Glarus
gemütlichkeit – there’s always ample room under the big tent, so make your plans now.
New Glarus is an exceptional place to visit. Whether you come to escape for a weekend to relax and recharge, come to discover a taste of Switzerland, come to celebrate a
special occasion, or come for an exciting festival–you’re always welcome in New Glarus!

Chalet of the Golden Fleece
A Unique one-of-a-kind collection
Visitors agree that the Chalet
of the Golden Fleece museum
is a well kept secret. and are
amazed at the size of the collection within—three floors of painted
furniture, antique silver and pewter,
original artwork, paintings and etchings,
samplers, prints, Swiss scissor cutting,
quilts, fabrics, antique glass and china,
coins, stamps, Swiss woodcarvings, Swiss
dolls, and more!
The Chalet is an authentic copy of
a Swiss Bernese mountain chalet. This
design is characterized by a white plaster
foundation and brown-stained wood
walls. The intricately detailed woodwork
in the interior pays tribute to Swiss
woodworking craftsmanship.
Edwin Barlow, New Glarus resident
and founder of the Wilhelm Tell drama,
built the Chalet in 1937 as his private
residence. A world traveler, Barlow
always returned with additions to his
ever-expanding collection. Items of special interest in the collection include a
jeweled watch once owned by King Louis
XVI, 2000-year-old Etruscan earrings,
Gregorian chants on parchment­dating
from 1485, 17th century Bolivian silvered gourd jewelry cases, a 300-year-old
Swiss slate and wood inlaid table, and a
Swiss porcelain tile stove made in 1760.
Barlow donated the Chalet and collection to the village of New Glarus, to be
maintained as a public museum.

America’s “Little Switzerland” – an original Swiss settlement
The New Glarus “cow parade” got its start when two New Glarus shopkeepers saw a cow parade in the airport in Zurich, Switzerland. One year later, Chicago’s
Cows on Parade was a big hit. Since the cows are manufactured in Zurich, and New Glarus is in dairy country, the painted cows seemed a perfect fit. Cows were
imported from Switzerland and painted with unique designs by area artists. Today, the cows reside in various locations around town. See if you can spot them
all (if you need a few hints, check our local street map)!
Choco the Cow
is a Brown Swiss with a maple
leaf emblem & wreath.

Swiss-Style
architecture
Take note while exploring the streets of New Glarus - the
skyline includes a variety of classic Swiss architectural styles.
The Bernese Mountain Chalet is the most widely recognized
Swiss design. It is characterized by its white plaster foundation, brown-stained wood siding, geranium-filled flower boxes and intricately detailed woodwork in the interior. Notable
examples include The Chalet of the Golden Fleece Museum
and the New Glarus Hotel Restaurant. The Chalet Landhaus
Inn and Maple Leaf Cheese and Chocolate Haus are contemporary examples of the Bernese style.
The Kubly home, at 301 12th Avenue, shows the sweeping
roof lines and curved fascia characteristic of the Swiss Emmental style. Other contemporary designs include the New
Glarus Village Hall, The Bank of New Glarus, Union Bank and Trust Company and Anchor
Bank. The style variations capture the essence of a modern Swiss mountain town.
