Cheese lovers rejoice because [Culver's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roasted-garlic-bacon-pub-burger) is bringing back the famed [Wisconsin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/culvers) [Big](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-king-burger) Cheese Pub Burger for a limited time.

Back in 2017, Culver's originally debuted the Wisconsin Big Cheese Pub Burger, which was an ultra-cheesy, Midwestern creation. Now, this cheesy burger is back and better than ever. This behemoth burger features a beef patty (or two or three patties if you choose so), topped with roasted garlic aioli and three kinds of Wisconsin-made cheeses: American, Cheddar, and Havarti. A notable change is that the new burger is served on a cheddar cheese bun, which is a bun flecked with bits of cheddar cheese, while the previous version was served on a "sweet rising" bun.

The Wisconsin Big Cheese Pub Burger is available from participating Culver's locations now through August 7.
