I've made a brief mention of Louie's Finer Meats in Cumberland WI in the
Grub en route to Minnesota thread. They've been in business for over 40 years, and are a family run meat market and sausage shop. Yes, they will sell you a beer, in the attached
Louie's Lodge. Yes, they will
process your deer and other game. In the summer, you can buy a grilled brat in the parking lot from Louie's Brat Haus (operated each day by a different non-profit or school as a fundraiser).
All of the walls of the store are adorned with and endless array of bratwurst and sausage making
awards. I'm partial to the Applewurst and the Three Berry brats. The sweetness from the fruit in the brats seems to make for a slightly caramelized casing, especially when grilled. I have never seen so many different varieties of brats in one place.

There must be at least a dozen varieties each of summer sausages, salami, jerky, cured and smoked meat snacks, bacon and breakfast sausages. They also have a small bakery section and a rack near the check out counter to tempt you with hard to find candy such as divinity.
