There was a plethora of options including, but not limited to, vodka, onesies, plushies, magnets, and beer. If I'm being honest, I hadn't heard of the mythical creature until we came to Rhinelander and now I have a magnet on my fridge as a reminder of our time in this town. The person who helped us was an absolute delight and welcomed us to the area.

This has become Rhinelander's Hodag stuff store! Anything you can think of is here, with a Hodag on…read moreit! Through the front window of this repurposed service station, you can see an array of Hodag themed merchandise. Most of it is new, however, there are old, brown. Rhinelander Shorty bottles for sale, the same ones my mother and father used to drink Rhinelander beer from. Yellow diamond signs, reflective and manufactured to DOT standards warn of Hodag crossings. Other signs indicate Hodag parking only, others will be crushed. You'll find front license plates, license plate frames, mouse pads, thimbles, bells, bottle openers, salt and pepper shakers, refrigerator magnets, decals, geocaching emblems and, of course, sweatshirts and t-shirts in a wide range of sizes. The Hodag store shares the space with a resale shop filled with artifacts of several varieties. In addition, there are works of art for sale, of course, also themed around the Hodag. Because of the nature of art, the inventory is subject to change. During my visit, there was a cross-cut saw painted with a scene featuring the Hodag. What's a Hodag? It's a mythical beast that sprang from the fertile mind of another Rhinelander legend, Gene Shepard, a practical joker of renown. The fearsome creature was "captured" by Shepard in 1896. It was made by Shepard and an expert carver; Shepard exhibited the creature in carnival side-shows. It has since become the official symbol of Rhinelander, his image appearing on water towers, squad cars, and signage, he's even the mascot of the high school. A park is named for the Hodag and now there's even a huge music festival that uses his name. And now, thanks to the Hodag Store, you can own a piece of Rhinelander's ambassador and official mascot.

When my college buddy is in town for a visit we always like to hit up one of the local breweries…read more The Rhinelander Brewing Company is one that we hadn't yet been to, so the last time he was here we decided to give it a try. They offer everything one would expect from a small craft brewery, both in terms of style and pour sizes -- everything from tastes, to flights, to small seven ounce pours (shorties), to a full pint. I had shortie pours of their lager and IPA. The lager was light and refreshing but not thin and watery (think "lite beer"). The IPA was lightly hopped compared to many IPAs on the market these days -- which I thought was good -- one can taste and enjoy the hops without being overpowered by them. The taproom is located in a storefront on the downtown main street. The decor has an "up north vibe" but I wouldn't say it is attractive or coherent in style. There's a bunch of historical memorabilia on display hearkening back to the old days when every town had its own local brewery -- which in this town was (of course) The Rhinelander Brewery. The staff was friendly and could readily talk about their products. The Rhinelander Brewery is not that much different from hundreds of other small craft brew taprooms around the country, so I'll stick with three stars, which for me means average -- but totally acceptable -- in terms of everything one would expect from an establishment like this. Every town should have a place like this.

They have a variety of items, so you could easily find a gift for someone here if you're not looking for yourself. They had some cute wind chimes and there was one I liked a lot, but I just moved and am not familiar enough with my new home to know where it could go. They had some plants and planters--I certainly don't need another planter but there was a hedgehog on that was too cute to leave on the shelf. They have some t-shirts, including some Park Falls souvenir ones. There were some baby items, jewelry, and what they're probably best known for--their bath bar. They had a nice large sink and a variety of oils, soaps, and so on for folks to smell and try. I didn't buy any bath stuff but I always appreciate when a store selling lotions and potions has a sink for you to rinse off. Service was friendly and not pushy. Parking is super easy; I'm not sure if there's ever a busy time in Park Falls, but there was street parking directly in front of the store and throughout the downtown.
