There’s a bar in Wisconsin that’s a little sweeter and spicier than the typical corner tavern. The tasting bar at the National Mustard Museum in Middleton is a haven for mustard enthusiasts and curious taste explorers. This unique bar offers an impressive array of mustard varieties from around the world. Ready to sample? Here’s what’s waiting for you at the bar.
The National Mustard Museum is a quirky celebration of all things mustard. Founded by Barry Levenson, this beloved museum houses an extensive collection of mustards from around the globe, boasting over 6,000 varieties, brands, and flavors.
Visitors to the museum learn all about mustard's history, culinary uses, and cultural significance. The exhibits showcase mustard's evolution from a humble condiment to a versatile ingredient that's used in cuisines worldwide.
One of the museum's standout events is the celebration of National Mustard Day. This annual festivity, typically held on the first Saturday in August, draws a big crowd of mustard enthusiasts. National Mustard Day festivities include mustard tastings, live music, games, and various mustard-themed activities for all ages.
But every day is mustard day at the museum. You can purchase mustard in the gift shop, and at the tasting bar, guests have the opportunity to sample an extensive selection of mustards.
The knowledgeable staff curates the tasting experience, guiding visitors through the diverse range of mustards, while providing insights into their origins, ingredients, and unique characteristics.
I love a good mustard – thanks to this tasting bar, I’ve upped my condiment game, and I even purchased a few spicy gifts for my family. They were a little surprised to receive a bag of mustard!
