There is a new brewery in Spring Valley, WI!!!…read more Located at the end of a small town main street is this quaint little, veteran owned and operated brewery featuring 11 beers of tap, a cool little patio space, and digital pinball. There is an impressive menu of beers available. Many different styles as well as limited infusions. There is also a huge selection of infused seltzers with cocktail inspiration for those non beer drinkers. The guys behind the bar were awesome. Super friendly, chatty, small town folks. Definitely stop on by if you are ever in the area!

The setting is really cool, a building with an industrial feel and lots of seating. We sat right at the bar. It took us a while to get served, and then for our whiskey flight to come out. They use large communion cups, which I thought was amusing. The whiskeys weren't really to our taste, though. It didn't take us long to have those, but even though we were right at the bar, we were ignored for a long stretch. I quietly wondered if the drinks had somehow made us invisible. We were finally able to pay and leave. Maybe we caught them on an off night, but the place didn't make an overall good impression on us.

We were both really happy with our selection. We actually went back later in the evening and there were lots of people. There is quite a bit of seating inside but we thought why not go up on the outside deck for the view? It was a nice view but not very much seating. The service was good and the bar tenders really knew how to make a drink.

Oliphant Honees Honees: Oliphant Brewing was founded just over a decade ago in Somerset, WI (which…read moreis practically MN near the Twin Cities). Being an avid reader, I know never to judge a book by its cover, but the artwork on the can is honestly what got me to check out Honees Honees. It's dubbed a peanut butter & honey golden ale, which is an ale brewed with honey and lactose, with peanut butter flavor and caramel color. The artwork that so powerfully snatched my attention sort of conveys that in its own unique and trippy way. Pouring the ale reveals a clear dark gold/amber color. I found the peanut butter to be stronger on the nose than the palate. Taste favored honey, with hints of peanuts, caramel malts, and a sweet (for a beer) finish. It weighs in at 5.6% ABV. Both the artwork and beer itself are Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews

I love breweries, but I'm gluten free and don't always feel like drinking alcohol, so sometimes my options are very limited. That was not the case here. There were several different options for cocktails-all of which could be made without alcohol. I ordered the cranberry mule and other members of my party enjoyed the NA beer and some of the sours. The space itself is nice and perfect for catching up with friends and playing a card game or two. I can't wait to visit in the summer and sit on the patio overlooking the river.

Normally the style can be much more "smoothie" than beer, but The Brewing Projekt gets the mix just right. Everything is well blended, not too sweet, and surprisingly light for what they are. Every beer we tried was great. The taproom is huge, their patio overlooks the River, and they allow dogs everywhere. What more do you want? It's a super chill atmosphere with board games and friendly staff. I would make a road trip here again and park a lunch or something. Just hang out, drink a couple beers and play board games.

Finally! Stopped in early Friday night to my 384th brewery w friends who are local. I mean I knew…read moreit was also a B&B but.... when you pull up?.... fer cute!! A few little yard arts, chairs, and plants...very welcoming! The B&B is on the left and the tap room is on the right, the garage, where the covered patio is. Co-owner Brenda was behind the bar. They had a good tap list, not overwhelming but enough to quench any palate. There was also a good list of guest taps, all Inbound. When Brenda mentioned she could pour me an "air" I responded... oh Lucid Air! That's one I hadn't heard in a minute! The tap room is very cozy and w Brenda also being a travel agent there is travel destination suggestions on the tap list. Mid visit the Brewer/co-owner, Ford came behind the bar. There was a decent selection of vinyl....not sure if they have a record player or it's just fun "decoration"? My friend gave me the explanation of the names on the shelving behind her. Again....fer cute!! I won't divulge it, go on & ask for yourself, I think it'd be funner hearing it in person from an owner! One friend opted for an Inbound beer. After having Brenda pour me a taste of Chubby Chipmonk Pale Wheat, which was good but better than a standard wheat beer since it's a Pale Wheat, so if you're looking for a muted beer, this isn't it, so go on and taste it. I asked my other friend f I could have a sip of his Bicycle Brown? There it is....that's what my palate is looking for! I opted for a pint of Bicycle Brown Ale... it hit the mark....as I still had a couple hour drive in front of me to the cities. Thanks Hoppy Girl for the delicious beer in such a comfortable & welcoming environment served up by a couple of pretty wonderful owners, cheers!
