Up North Brewing Company is a fun innovative local brewery. We met up with some neighbors that…read morebelong to their version of a mug club and sing their praises. I saw one of their taps was labeled "coffee", it was a limited brew and they offered me a sample. It was excellent! Needless to say, it was my pick for the night.

They have a few of their own beers on tap and then also a few local beers. I personally tried almost all their beers but didn't try any of the other brewery beers. The beer tenders let you try some to help choose which I always love! The brewery is dog friendly inside and on the patio. One of the workers gave my pup a little milk bone! The inside and outside of the brewery were very nice and I love the secluded wooded area on the outside by the patio. There is also a beer window on the patio! The beers that I tried were honestly all pretty great; the only one I didn't love was the strawberry blonde, but I thought the cucumber one and the in a nutshell were different and great!

Lots of different brews to choose from Pils to dark and everything in-between. Food trucks are usually there on weekends and excellent food to complement the brews.

This has been and always will be my favorite destination taproom in the Midwest. the four-hour…read moredrive is totally worth it. The people are cool. the location has plenty of parking. they are environmentally conscious. They have the best seasonal beers. If you are thinking of coming here, try and align it to one of their beer events such as Black Gold, or the Maple Stout release. There is so much to do around this neck of the woods. Head to Waupaca, or Steven Point, and hit up some of the other breweries nearby like O'so. If you want to hit the pinnacle of fun come to the anniversary release in January. There are multitudes of awesome beers to drink. Bluegrass bands, and local foods to keep your belly full. I can guarantee you that I and the rest of our contingent of beer geeks will be there in 2024. Be there or be square.

As a rule, I tend to rate breweries and brewpubs first and foremost on the the quality of their beer. On that basis a 3.5 star rating would be appropriate. But the ambience and atmosphere here is so inviting and comfortable that it shows just how much these elements can bring to the hospitality experience. That said, I'd rather drink great beer in a barn than terrible beer in a Vanderbilt mansion. But honestly I would come here just to hang out and play board games even if I weren't drinking the beer Speaking of which, a crucial part of that ambiance is NO SCREENS. I'm not averse to catching a college ball game on a Saturday afternoon at a corner pub, but this isn't the place for that. Any uproarious excitement from the clientele will instead be on account of a competitive game of Uno.

It took about 45 minutes maybe for the pizza to come out which is long but you have to realize how popular and good their pizzas are. I did hear they are building a new kitchen. So the pizza comes out on thin crust and it was a WOW pizza. It had a very great flavor but... the problem is... the garlic cheese bread was even better. My wife said we should have gotten more of that. They were both amazing. We sat at the bar and was well taken care of. I highly recommend this place.

This is the real deal. Friendly service too! My only suggestion would be to add a kid-friendly pizza. Something much smaller in cheese so 3/4 of it won't end up in a to-go box would be nice. However, I understand if a restaurant has no intention of catering to kids and don't expect everyone to do so. I just know we would be more frequent visitors if options were available.

Lake 11 boasts a cool vibe without being pretentious. Though bar seating is somewhat limited, there is plenty of space at a variety of tables. It's a fantastic place for a group. Chic lighting fixtures caught my eye right away. They add a lot to an otherwise minimalist space. The servers were so polite, informed and efficient. The most important thing is that the beer was great. Pricing is very reasonable. Huge growler for $17 - this came home with us! I'd highly recommend Lake 11 to craft beer aficionados. They have root beer for those who don't favor beer. Also, they allow food in from nearby eateries.

The vibe is chill with a bunch of tables, some high tops and even a lounge area. The beer list is impressive with beers from all over place. They also have hard seltzers and wine if beer isn't your thing. We got some popcorn and of course a basket of the free peanuts! We also got a pizza.

This is a cool hangout spot for sure!
