Wisconsin’s Best Cheese Curd

Meet Our Sponsor

Central Standard Craft Distillery is more than a name. It’s an idea. An idea to craft better spirits using locally sourced ingredients, made by hardworking Wisconsinites who are passionate about what they create. They turned that idea into a reality, with many spirits earning local and national recognition for quality and excellence, including Door County Cherry Vodka, North Wisconsin Brandy, and Cabin Strength Bourbon. We are Crafted To Gather.

Door County Cherry Vodka is a 100% handcrafted, award-winning vodka infused with locally sourced honey and 50 pounds of cherries from Door County, creating a sweet, ready-to-pour spirit. You’ll fall in love with its rich flavor and quickly understand why they say you “open the Door” in every sip.

North Wisconsin Brandy is aged more than two years in fire-kissed oak barrels and then finished in bourbon barrels, which mellows the spirit into a sweet, exceptionally smooth brandy. Whether you’re finishing off the perfect Old Fashioned or sipping it neat, North Wisconsin Brandy is made in the true Wisconsin tradition.

Cabin Strength Bourbon goes one step further in the aging process. Bourbons are first placed in new American white oak barrels and aged between four and six years, then Cabin Strength is re-barreled for an additional year. That second barreling in their signature new American white oak barrels deepens the flavor and elevates the true bourbon experience. It is listed on Fred Minnick’s list of the Top 100 Whiskeys in America and is the only one from Wisconsin.
Milwaukee through and through, Central Standard Craft Distillery pours its heart and soul into every bottle to craft the perfect spirit for your next cocktail. That’s why they’re so proud to raise a glass as the sponsor of this brand-new Discover Wisconsin “Best Of” Bracket Challenge, celebrating local flavor and a little friendly competition.
