How is any of this determined? I am fixated on Wisconsin. If it is popular or well known drink, it would have to be a beer like Miller or Spotted Cow. Which many other states have. And there is no historical tie between Wisconsin and the old fashioned, it was popularized and developed in New York according to Wikipedia.
Also, I have lived in Minnesota and never heard of a beertini. They are just making this up!
This man has never known the sweet joy of ordering food at a supper club, getting hammered on 7up and brandy at the bar, and only being seated exactly when your food was ready.
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.

Point at him and laugh.
Are Old Fashions a particularly popular cocktail at Supper Clubs? The one time I went I saw more gin and tonics.

Nah, semi-rural north. On vacation with my grandparents.
