Wisconsin Brewing Company was founded in 2013 while my family was still living in Madison, and…read morerecently underwent a change to be called Lake Louie Brewing. My wife and I stopped in for dinner, and found it to be a good experience. An original founder was Kirby Nelson, who had become very well known in the area (during a time when craft brewing was just starting out), spending many years as head brew master at nearby Capital Brewery (a brewery I knew very very well, considering I worked nearby and had many work related events at their seasonal biergarten). I distinctly remember when they were building this location out in the middle of nowhere, and stopped in multiple times in the early years. In 2019, it merged with with Lake Louie Brewing (another smaller brewery whose beers I really liked). In 2023, it consolidated all of its beers under the Lake Louie moniker, including renaming this location. I hadn't stopped by since that had happened, so was looking forward to visiting for dinner during our second night of our Midwest road trip. They have a large outdoor dining areas, with nice views of the pond and some people were taking advantage. But it was dusk, and the mosquitos were out, so we chose inside seating. It was Wednesday, which meant they had $12 pitchers of any draft beers (which is a great deal). Instead, we ordered a flight ($12 for 4 pours) letting the bartender choose: Kiss the Lips, Badger Club, Warped Speed, Oktoberfest. Warped Speed was my favorite beer (Scotch ale) from the original Lake Louie before it got bought, and it didn't disappoint. The Wednesday special is a $12 small cheese and pepperoni pizza from JonnyO's (located in Belleville which isn't that close), and it's a decent size (enough for two people). We had to try it, but I wouldn't do it again. The price is outstanding, but the time to wait is too long. It is ordered and paid via kiosk. Basically, it's delivery and took exactly 1 hour for the pizza to be delivered. The pizza was OK, and would have been good if served fresh...but it tasted like a pizza that had been made 45 minutes ago and delivered. Definitely better when busier...my guess is that they waited for my pizza until the last possible minute for other orders to come in, and when it didn't, delivered it to meet the 1 hour promise time. I also got a pint of the Tart Lime Twist ($6) which went great with the pizza. We really liked the Tart Lime so got a 4 pack of that ($6) and my favorite (Warped Speed for $6), to bring back to California. The service was good throughout, and they used Square for their payment processing.

It happens to be located inside an old church repurposed for something more useful. Friendly and knowledgeable. There's a surprisingly large variety of choices on tap. Bad thing is the limited hours. It's small so there's not tons to choose from but they still have quite a lot. That means everything is expertly crafted and whatever you get is great stuff. A choice of flights if wanting to try a few. It's about $6 a pint. Best one we had was the Oh Danny Boy. This is an Irish Red ale with caramel and toasted malt notes. Also great IPAs and other classics. There's often something coming out each season. For sure if coming this way get some beers. It's got a few snacks but you can bring stuff in. They're closed from Mondays to Wednesdays.

I didn't take a pic - but Rick enjoyed his brisket. Other customers were raving about the ribs the day we were there. We each had a Mud Run beer and pleasant conversation with the staff.

It was a great little hangout spot to rest & recharge. Food and beverages were available but we just had to order at the bar (no table service when we dined here which was perfectly fine). The IPA tasted more like a pale ale but hit the spot. The food was flavorful and hit the spot! Satisfying portions and yummy vegetarian options. We each ordered two tacos and shared a half pan of loaded nachos (we did the sweet potato vegetarian nacho option). There's limited indoor seating at the front and a larger seating space out back including an outdoor patio space that has tables with umbrellas. We sat out back indoors. The flies were bad but it's that time of year. There's a board game shelf, water station and lots of posters advertising fun weekly activities. I loved how kid/baby friendly the place was. They had high chairs and a changing table in one of the restrooms plus they offer kids eat free deals on Thursdays. We lucked out and came here when it was relatively slow. When we left, the bar was jam packed and while service moved it understandably slowed down. Our only regret was not purchasing a Sunshine Brew Co hat before leaving. Guess that means we will have to make a return visit one day!
