Viroqua Food Co-op

 

Cool store with an amazing cheese selection. Beer selection isn't huge, but they do have some nice stuff. Fresh Sosus and FSM, a dry hopped sour apricot wild from Next Door, among several others. Usually they carry Driftless Brewing Co. stuff but the brewery can't keep up with demand. The beer guy just laughed when I asked if they had any, despite the giant brewery sign sitting on the beer cooler. He pointed out all the new stuff that they had.

Cheese selection was really nice, Nordic Creamery, Roelli, some of the funkier stuff produced in WI. Charcuterie from Underground Meats, nduja, spanish chorizo, and goat salami.

Staff were laid back and friendly, the place felt like an indie version of Whole Foods. Lots of crunchy locals and myself being the lone tourist. Overall worth a stop, be sure to eat at Driftless Cafe while in town.
