The brewery is under construction until next year so it's a little bit restricted in what there is compared to when I was last here in 2019, however, it's still worth a visit. They do have a large gift shop/beer depot. I always buy a lot of beer to mule back to KC. On this visit they had a limited beer release so it was busy. The individuals working in the depot were a bit rude to be honest. I don't know if they were just over it because there were a lot of people, but they weren't friendly nor very helpful. If it had been my first visit, it definitely would've been a turn off. The individuals working in the gift shop were nice. I bought a few Christmas gifts from there. After I bought all the merch I wanted, I headed across the street where they had a makeshift tasting room. They had lots of tables to sit at outside. In the tasting room you have the open of a pint or 3 tasters. You get to keep the glass either way you go which is pretty cool. I went with the taster option. They give you a glass and a bracelet that has 3 taster tabs that they remove as you get each one. The individuals working that station were nice and friendly. I love their sours and had to get pours of the strawberry rhubarb which is one of my favorites. They also have a self guided tour. It's on the smallish side but still cool to see even with all the construction. The bathroom situation was a bit iffy. Definitely try to use the gift shop bathrooms because otherwise it's porta-potties or there are restrooms in the tour area. Those are pretty run down and the stalls don't lock. My apologies to the poor lady I walked in on mid piss with her pants around her ankles. Overall, it's definitely worth checking out especially if you've never been. I can't wait until they finish construction and I'm able to return to see what it looks like.

It definitely makes you appreciate their level of distribution more but also makes a visit shorter in length. In one building, they had a tasting room. Inside, you could pay $8 for a pint of one beer or sample of three beers. Depending on the size you chose, you got to keep your cup. They also gave us a token for a free beer anywhere in town. There were picnic tables in the parking lot to enjoy drinks at casually. In the adjacent building, one could do a self guided tour of brewing equipment, canning equipment, and watch a background video from the owners. Across the street, they have a gift shop as well as their beer depot. They had merchandise available from glassware, apparel, pet items, coasters/stickers, and more. They had a lot of sizes available in store. The beer depot is a room where you can grab your drinks in 6 or 24 pack sizes. They have some beers specific to the brewery only but also had your wisconsin classics found in stores. Overall, I'm so happy I finally got to experience New Glarus Brewing. If traveling from a far, I would pair a visit here with other local plans. Elite Tip: They are currently building an expansion of Hilltop Brewing.

This place is awesome. Just got home after dinner and we couldn't stop talking about it all the way home. So first of all, the atmosphere is great. Very classy and unique, as the building used to be a large Victorian-style home which has been tastefully converted into a well-decorated restaurant with a cozy feel to it. The food, Oh. My. God. the food. We started with Green County Cheese curds as an appetizer, with chipotle ranch to dip and they were excellent. Choosing a dinner entree was difficult, as literally everything sounded great. I ended up having the braised lamb, and my boyfriend had the crab cakes. Both were fantastic. Perfect portions, beautiful presentation, the whole nine yards. The food theme is American with a Mexican twist, and it's right on the mark. The lamb was accompanied by an ancho pasilla sauce, and it's one of those combinations that is both unusual and perfect. It also had some great asparagus and roasted red potatoes on the side. It was clear that the owner and chef know what they're doing, and they're phenomenally good at it. Last, the desserts. I want to add here that more often than not, a lot of restaurants fall short in the dessert section. It's, sadly, something I've come to expect. Not Kristi's. They had a surprising variety of deserts, including creme brûlée, chocolate mousse, and caramel tres leches. I had the creme brûlée, which was wonderful, and the boyfriend was very pleased with his chocolate mousse. And the service was great. Our waitress was attentive and so sweet. I could honestly write a novela praising this place, going over the finer points of our after dinner discussion on the drive home about the scarcity of good restaurants, the poor variety of food in the area, how Kristi's is such a refreshing break from the norm, and on and on, but your time would be better spent just heading over there and having some great food, with great service, in a great atmosphere. read more
