Tailgate party on a bun — a thick, gooey beer cheese sauce made with lager and sharp cheddar gets smothered over crispy fried chicken, then loaded with sliced bratwurst, tangy sauerkraut, and pickled onion rings. A pretzel crumble adds crunch, a beer mustard bacon jam and a sharp cheddar beer cheese spread hold down the bottom bun, and spicy brown mustard ties it all together. Wisconsin game day in every bite.
