For this #beersaturday adventure, we jumped in the car to take a trip to nearby Viroqua, Wisconsin, to take in the last day of their farmer's market for the season. With my mother-in-law in tow, we also knew we had to check out the Driftless Cafe. The Driftless is one of the area's better restaurants, and we knew we must visit.

The market was fun good, as always. We picked up some fermented radishes, apple butter, and some sourdough bread. Yum! The Amish happened to be onsite too, so I grabbed a jar of pickles too...we even saw their horses.

After the market, we then headed over to the Driftless Cafe. I knew it was going to be a beer lunch kind of day and went with a Bell's Two Hearted on tap.

Here was the food menu, too:

For me, the loaded grilled cheese lookws like a winner. I got a potato and leek soup to start:

Then the sandwich itself:

Of course, I managed to have my first beer nearly gone by the time to the meal made its way to the table.

I still need a haircut, big time! Overall, today was a great day for a family adventure. the food was good, the beer was excellent, and we managed to make the last day of farmer's markets a true celebration. I even picked up a Driftless Bigfoot "Believe" shirt too; I couldn't pass on that!

Thanks for checking out my #beersaturday post! I hope everyone had a wonderful Saturday too!

I hope you enjoyed your weekend friendThe 🍺 beer 🍻 looks so attractive and i feel like having some @sagesigma

It was a good day, yes...lucky to have some good food and family to share the beer with! Thanks!

Looks like a delicious beer man! That place sounds like a lot of fun, I love going to farmers markets, even if it's not a lot of things I would buy lol still a good vibe and atmosphere! To also get to buy stuff from the Amish is great, gotta support those folks!

The lamb burger sounds delicious on that menu, have you ever tried it? I don't know if I've ever had lamb burgers, lamb chops sure but not burgers.

I really wanted to go with it today, but had a nasty bout with tuna steak food poisoning earlier this week...so I kept it simple. Beer and cheese, lol!

I do like lamb chops too; I'm most certainly going to get the lamb burger next time!

Ah that sucks man, glad you're feeling better now, I would as well be leery! Not a bad choice considering the circumstances then lol

It was brutal, lol...i thought my head was going to bloat into a tomato...it looked like a tomato, too!

Aw man, that sandwich and soup combination does look perfect for an autumn day. Good beer to wash it down with, too! Now I'm planning what to do for lunch!

They are the best kind of lunches, lol

Good time with family adventure. Beer has always make our days more enjoyable. I love the combination of the beer with some sandwiches 🥪 as a starter to accompany the Beer. Have a nice weekend Buddy!

Thanks so much, my friend! Are you an indulger of fermented beverages, too?
