The flavor was on the weaker side, but it wasn't bad. The prosecco they use was in tap and was also kind of bland and not super cold. (This is the reason for the 4 star).

I got this drink with Door County cherry vodka, and it was really good. The cheese curds were also great and only four dollars during happy hour! I also ordered the mushroom Swiss burger. The menu recommended a double patty and I figured it was because they were smash burgers. From my understanding, smash burgers were typically thin and crispy patties. Unfortunately, this was not the case. They were much thicker than I imagined and a double was way more than I could handle, a single would have been perfect. There wasn't really any crisp to them and they were pretty heavy and greasy. I actually forgot that the burger was supposed to come with Riley sauce then I saw a nice bite with some of it, but when I went for it all I tasted was hamburger grease. The cheese fries were pretty good and I would definitely get those again. I would also love to try some of their other menu items and maybe even give the (single) burger another chance one day!

It was in an entirely different location then, so this was my first visit to the new taproom. Such a comfortable and fun spot! They have so many different events, including an ASL Guided Brewery Tour (which is quite unique) and a monthly book club. I originally stopped by to drop off books for their used book sale, but I stayed for two beers. Very friendly staff and appear to be highly engaged with their community. There was a nice variety of styles on their beer menu. I tried a pilsner (I believe?) and an Oktoberfest (because it was the season). Both very tasty! I enjoy the atmosphere of this brewery and the type of community they seem to be building.

The music was a perfect volume, it was perfectly crowded with enough seating, and the bartenders were so kind, helpful, and efficient. Granted, it was a holiday market type of thing that was happening on a Saturday afternoon so who knows if it was the regular clientele but there was a great combo of people there--even a baby or two. Workers were holding them and it just really seemed like a warm, welcoming business. I had a Cream City Crusher or something and my friend had an Oktoberfest--both were awesome. I'd totally go back!

Walked here and stepped inside while people where outside smoking and chilling. No bad looks, just good vibes which continued inside. Loud music of all genres playing and plenty of seating. Bar and tables in the front and darts in the back. People were playing dice at the bar, something new to me, but I love it and really nice people taught me the rules. It is a WI thing, and I love it. To be played! Beers were cold and we had a couple shots. Bartenders were cool and totally chill (2 girls) who made whatever we wanted of course. Great tap list! Prices were reasonable and I was nothing but happy paying the bill. You can dance, you can drink, you can have a throw down good time and you only get positive vibes from this place.
