    This whole Minhas compound is actually a fun idea. There's a restaurant, distillery and craft brewery all in the same area but different buildings. You can walk from building to building for tasting's and experiences. I saw a few groups walking from place to place having a great time. For anyone who remembers grandpa drinking Huber beer, here's where it came from. The brewery choices are ok. Nothing that I felt was memorable. Theres a beer museum in the basement with memorabilia and worthy of a trip down memory lane. People in there were friendly, both bartenders and natives. It was a fun time and that's why the trip was great. Don't expect great beer, but do plan on a fun time.

    Cool place in Monroe, Wisconsin. We had a nice time in their tap room trying the beer offerings, shopping in the gift shop, touring the Beer Memorabilia Collection, and grabbing some beer to go. Super low prices on beer to go. Mix your own 6-pack was only $5. Bar server was very generous with the samples. We didn't do the brewery tour because our timing was of but it sounds like a great deal also. Check Groupon for tour deals. I learned that the brewery has a long and interesting history. They claim it's the second oldest brewery in the United States behind Yuengling. Great place to visit.

    Really enjoyed the tour. Beers were very fresh tasting. The tour starts with a beer and then ends with a tasting of as many beers in a flight glass for 20 mins. The tour ends with a gift of 4 beers and 1 soda or 5 sodas. It was surprisingly good time!

    Drove an hour south to Monroe to thr 2nd oldest brewery in the nation. Lots of street parking. Showed my groupon and was given 20 minutes for all you can sample. There's a sheet of beer (draft and cooler) selections on the counter. Our fav were chocolate bunny stout and apple ale. Least fav was boxer watermelon as it tasted like cough medicine. Also had the mango CBD flavored water and it was ok. Admission for under 12 is free and they got 5 types of sodas for tasting. We like black cherry the most. Friendly bartender and only wished it was a little more time as there was a group of 8 sharing the same time slot with one bartender.

    Used a Groupon for Minhas brewery tour for a fun afternoon with my cousins. We had a great time! It was very inexpensive ($12 is the regular price for the brewery tour). We started off with a sample beer of our choosing and were shown a short video about the history of the brewery and the brewing process. The tour took us through several different buildings, including the bottling/canning rooms. A word of warning - it was a hot day when we decided to do the tour and it is extremely warm in some of these rooms due to the equipment! Also, one part of the tour involved going up and down a rather narrow staircase, so if you have mobility issues, maybe try the winery or the distillery tour! These buildings are 150 years old and it was really interesting to learn about the history of the brewery, including that it was open and operating during prohibition! We finished the tour with another tasting where we were able to sample a ton of different beers and hard sodas, everyone found something they liked! After the tour you can stay for food and drinks or take a walk through the gift shop and purchase your favorite beers to take home. Overall we had a great time and were very impressed with the experience!

    Cheap beer!!

    7/1 The prices are so awesome here, we've decided to make (at least) one return trip per year for a beer run. We took the tour last year, so this year we just grabbed a cart and started shopping. We got a case of Huber Bock for $7.65 and some 24-ounce single cans of Crunk (similar to Mike's or a flavored Smirnoff Ice) for 99 cents. I got some more of my favorite Hard Root Beer by Rhinelander -- so, so good. The staff is happy and friendly and more than willing to answer questions or check for additional stock. If you spend more than $60, you get 10% off. The parking is limited, but there is plenty of street parking and we just wheeled our cart right out to the car. :) Totally worth the drive - fantastic place!

    Still a full fledged five stars, no doubt about it. I picked up brewery tour tickets off Living Social some time ago, two for $10. The tour alone is worth $5/person, but it gets a whole lot better. In addition to a great tour led by someone who had a profound knowledge of the brewery and its history, we got to sit in their tasting area not once, but twice and drink as much as we liked. The tour guide explained that Minhas was the United States second oldest brewery which included a look at every part of their facility, including a two-sided packaging room that looks like the warehouse scene at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. We sampled about five beers and one of their liquors. Add a couple of their soda's to the mix as well. Each is decent to above average, including a new selection on their menu which was inspired by an actual brewery fire in November 2013 called 'Fire Brewed Red Ale'. Catchy way to take the high road on a potential disaster! Upon your departure from the tour you're given a 5-pack of free beer which includes one of their soda's. The 6th spot is reserved for the free glass they give you. Just one hell of a classy move. If you want to take a WORLD CLASS brewery tour this is it. Not five star...MORE! Cheers and THANK YOU Minhas!

    This beer is for you!

    If you are reading this review it means you've made an excellent decision. You're thinking of visiting Minhas brewery. Lets make a long story short. Do it. $10 bucks gets you unlimited beer for 30 minutes, a free 6 pack and a glass to take home. I've never done the tour, but I've done the 30 minute sample a couple times. Even if you don't drink, the soda here is awesome and they have popcorn. The bar is cool, tons of beer memorabilia gives this place a fun vibe. After your sample take home all the beer you can fit in your car at a cheap price. They make a lot of beer here for sale all over the place. The store has an awesome selection of oddball brews in cans and bottles. Im not going to say its the best beer in the world, but its the best price in the world.

    Make sure you make a reservation. The website needs to say that. We drove over an hour to be told everything is booked.

After a while they chose to also brew beers. They use hops from the crops, it rhymes. Coming here the first time it was kind of confusing. It's a long way from anything else. The entrance to the farm looks like you're going to someone's house. A parking area is in front. This is basically just an open area on grass. A little walk to the structure that kind of looks like a white barn. Inside it's a lot bigger than it looks. Has a few rooms including a patio in the back. In front there's a few tables. A limited but great variety of beers. It's about $6 a pint. Best one we had of these was the Overcast. This is a Hefeweizen, which has banana and clove flavors and is classic stuff. It's about $1 for potato chips. There's also popcorn. Great place for hyper local beers. It's limited space making it not a place for a big group or parties, and there's a few snacks like popcorn. They're open Fridays, and weekends.

I call back and they told me they will not be making my food at all as the cook does not want to cook anymore and they are closing up now. If I wanted to I could come back tomorrow and order. Wow. It's like a child was left in charge of your resteraunt. She apparently had no control over the cook...and it did not seem like it was a big deal to her. I waited 2 days to write this review as I did not wish to be emotional. But the lack of professionalism is shocking. I realize this is a small town and getting any kind of help let alone actual people that take the tiniest amount of pride in their work must be difficult.

A pretty busy place with locals and people from other areas. There's about what's expected on the menu it seems. Before even coming in there's a smell of barbecue. It's got a pretty full menu. There's a bar in the middle surrounded by plenty of tables. Beers are the main thing of course. It's about $7 a pint. Best one we had of these was the Coldstream Lager. This is a full bodied Bavarian style. A lot of the food is meaty. Brisket and that kind of stuff. Among the appetizers is the Cowboy Caviar. One of the few vegetarian options. This is a mixture of beans, cilantro, corn, jalapeños, red onions, and tomatoes. It's about $16 for the Tex-Mex Bowl. This has avocado, cilantro rice, Cowboy Caviar, marinated cucumbers, pico de gallo, and Thai sauce. Of course an option is to get it with meats added. There's plenty more things including burgers and pork belly tacos among the livestock based foods. For around here it's one of the better places for big crowds. It's got beers and barbecue along with some healthier options. They're closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
