They're as classic to wisconsin as supper clubs. And they aren't conventional Old Fashioned's in the slightest. Just lookup "Wisconsin Old Fashioned - brandy sweet" wherever.
(I also don't know what supper club you went to that could've had so many gin and tonics. Must've been Madison.)
I'll corroborate this, my family is from remote northwoods and I picked up my gin habit from them. Brandy Old Fashioned IS the Wisconsin drink, though. If you ask for an old fashioned w/ brandy at a Chicago bar they will start making Brewers jokes.
Are Old Fashions a particularly popular cocktail at Supper Clubs? The one time I went I saw more gin and tonics.
