Your Knowledge of
Triviatown
1 Central Waters Brewing Company,
in Amherst, is known for their sustainability
practices – including their 1,000 foot solar array.
The brewery even donates proceeds from the
sale of its beer ‘Shine On’ to the Midwest
Renewable Energy Association to support the
nation’s longest running Energy Fair.
2 The first-ever refrigerated salad bar made its
debut in the 1950’s at the Sky Club Supper
Club, still in operation today in Plover. Head in
for a classic old fashioned or grab a bottle
of their own mix (named after their long-time
bartender’s recipe known as Shifty’s) to make at
home.
3 Paddlequest has been around since 2002,
when it was created by Point native Matt Kirsch.
This paddling-based adventure offers fun for all
skill levels and ages, held each summer on the
Wisconsin River. It’s even been featured in
Rolling Stone.

Herrschners may have started as a street
vendor in Chicago selling sewing notions by a
young German immigrant, but the company has
been headquartered in Stevens Point since 1970.
5 You’ll find the headquarters for Ruby Coffee
in Nelsonville, Wisconsin – population
125. This haven for coffee has been the
heartbeat of the company, which launched in
2013 – and expanded to a Stevens Point café in 2019.
6 Portage County ranks first in production of
potatoes, processed snap beans,
sweet corn, and peas, and leads the state
for market value of agricultural crops sold.
Located in the heart of the Central Sands region
of Wisconsin, high value vegetable crops
dominate the landscape. Here you’ll find more
than 27,000 acres of potatoes planted each year.
7 It’s because of businesses like the Stevens
Point Brewery who has been brewing
continuously here since 1857, that Wisconsin
and Beer are synonymous. Today, you can blend
history and local flavor with a tour & a taste.
