    Stout beers (one medium, one large)
    Ophelia M.

    You know I love a good hidden gem. Old Germantown is just that. We were in the general area-ish doing some shopping and wanted to get some pizza for takeout some place closeby to enjoy at home while watching the Olympics (because it's in Italy--so pizza seemed like just the thing). A search on Yelp brought up this place as somewhat closeby. It was after dark when we went in search of it. We drove down a rural road past what appeared to be a driveway that led to a farm. This can't be it. We tried again. Navigation brought us to the same driveway. My husband was ready to give up. I decided to call the business. A kindly gentleman answered and said--yep! It will look like you're driving to a farm but we're here! As we got closer to the end of the drive we saw a bustling parking area. While it might be hard to find--the people have found it. And, so did we. We entered to find beer hall vibes with tons of communal seating. We asked if we could order to go which they were more than willing to accommodate. We found a couple bar stools at their bar, ordered our salads and pizza, and then enjoyed a couple of stout beers while we waited. The beers, salad, and the pizza straight from their wood fired pizza oven were all fantastic. We got one of their specialty pizzas which was a white pie that comes with ricotta (as well as mozz) mushrooms, and basil on a crust that has just the right amount of chewiness and char. Lovely! The folks working here were above-and-beyond friendly. And, one told us that they have a large outdoor patio during pleasant months. We will definitely be back during the pleasant months. And, let's be real--during the less than pleasant months as well. Get to it!

    One of our favorite spots to go as a family! The outdoor play area for kids is very convenient. Sometimes the wait for pizza can get long so get there early to beat the rush. I love the margarita pizza and my husband gets the gluten free, while it's not the best it is pretty good for gf.

    This is a true hidden gem, there is no signage when you turn down the road or even when you arrive. We sat in the outdoor back area that was surrounding by barns. There was a large play area that the kids loved. The QR ordering system was simple and convenient options to split the tab or order as a group. But you can also go inside to order, if you prefer. We ordered two pizzas (sassy pig and harvest) that had creative toppings that paired well together. I do wish the pizza crust held up a little better, especially towards the center of the pizza. We also got the 3 sausage platter and chose the Choriqueso, Slovenian, and Brat. The Slovenian was my favorite, but it was great to try the variety. I don't normally enjoy waffle fries, but they were cooked and seasoned to perfection. I ordered a Lager OG which was delicious. Staff were very nice and friendly!

    This place is so unassuming! It feels like you're going out to the boondocks when driving here. Arriving to a big barn with nothing else around is so unique. We went there on a late Saturday afternoon with a big group - six adults and six kids. Luckily, this place is great for that, as it almost feels like a big hall with massive tables. Love that they have a QR codes at each table making for easy ordering. You view the menu, place your orders, and pay via the app, and then someone brings your items right to the table. I feel like that works so well for groups who are all ordering on their own accord. The wine was generously poured and tasty, and my husband really liked the beer. The pretzel bites app weren't my favorite, and my kiddos unfortunately didn't eat them. They were deep fried, I think. The wood over pizza on the other hand was so yum!! We got the marg and a pepperoni and they were both prefect in their simplicity. The outside space it wonderful! We visited as the weather has turned cooler, so didn't expect to go outside but we ended up enjoying it for a bit. I can see how great it would be in the warm months. Tons of tables, a big fire pit, lots of space (and toys) for kiddos. All in all it's a great kept secret and we'll look forward to returning!

    First time coming here wasn't hard to get to. Staff was wonderful very attentive everyone checks on you making sure you and your group is well taken care of. I like the ordering style. You can open a tab on your phone for yourself or everyone you're with. The food came quick. First we had spinach artichoke dip. The chips were salty and crunchy (a good thing) and the dip was very rich and flavorful. Next came out our pizza we got margheta and a pepperoni pizza. Both were amazing the pepperoni pizza was very cheesy something about this place all the flavors were rich. The margheta pizza was also amazing everything tasted like it was created in the restaurant. You can taste every ingredient in the pizza welly combined. The lemonade was also homemade and came in beautiful cups. Overall the food was amazing. I definitely will be coming back and can't wait until the summer the outside of the restaurant looks like it's going to be beautifully lit up and a great vibe. Almost forgot about desert!!!! The chocolate gelato tasted nothing like anything I've had before it tasted like you were eating a chocolate bar like the expensive chocolate bars. Definitely a hidden gem that deserves hype.

    What a gem of a place!! We came here for the first time with friends and it was such a great experience. It's out in the middle of the country, the driveway comes up Quick haha make sure you're paying attention. Easy parking and beautiful farmstead property that has been done extremely well for entertaining. There's ample outdoor, covered seating and we easily grabbed a table on a Friday evening at 4:30pm - it was a weird weather night and our friends told us it's normally busier. Let me tell you, this is an amazing spot for families!! It had a fenced in feeling and tons of outdoor play toys to keep them busy. We felt very comfortable letting them roam freely and we were able to enjoy our drinks and food. You order online and the service was incredibly prompt - drinks came out within 5 minutes! It's beer/wine/seltzer, they don't have a hard liquor license. Big food menu but we stuck to their thin crust pizzas which were delicious. They had a ton of gluten free options which I appreciated! Sadly I didn't capture a photo of them, we ate too quickly. Such friendly and accommodating staff. We will 100% be coming back here again keep up the great work

    My last brewery stop on a quick marathon stop in town a few weeks ago. Friendly and knowledgeable Luke discussed beers w me that I trusted him to "pour me whichever one" i got chatty w some locals so opted for some pretzel bites that came w a delicious dipping sauce; that when i asked Luke for a box, hd added another full sauce, thanks. A few bites in to my order the gal next to me who had recommended them and told me her first order was overcooked, said mine were too. I continued eating.... then noticed: yes, these are too done... bummer! They have to get that dialed in, serve better prepared food. At that point i felt id ate too much to send them back or complain, so that was a bummer. But...i came for the beet and the few i tried were great. Old Germantown is a fun venue w easy parking. I didnt peruse any of their food offerings but worth a try if you head over. Thanks Luke for the knowledgeable beer chat and the tasty beers, cheers.

    We have gone to Old Germantown many a times now and it's always a crowd pleaser! The space itself is a pizza and beer barn with an awesome outside seating area as well. Plenty of parking in the gravel lot out front. Lots of seating options inside and outside for small and larger groups! You order inside the barn and then they bring everything to your table, which means you get to kick back and enjoy the company. Staff is usually friendly and attentive when ordering and delivering, and don't hover while you enjoy your time munching and sipping! The menu has a draft list of local and in-house brewed beers and some wines as well. I've tried a bunch of their beers over my many visits and rarely have a complaint! The food menu is comprised primarily of sausages and pizzas! I definitely recommend getting a variety of sausages to try some different styles (you can even take some frozen sausages home by stocking up at the freezers near the host stand). Pizzas are wood fired in a brick oven, rocking that chewy and charred crust that you know you love! Plenty of topping options to satisfy the crew! Overall, the perfect social atmosphere out here Old Germantown! When I'm in Wisconsin, there's a pretty great chance we end up at OG!

    Generous space inside and out - plenty of tables and chairs & a laid back vibe. Nothing pretentious here!
    Kristin G.

    Love this place Been on the list for years Fantastic food Sausages are well made and well cooked, nice snappy casing which is important to me Pizza is outstanding with lots of topping varieties and ones you've never had before - I promise. But also will have the traditions for the ones that's want to keep it pedestrian out there. Vibe is kicked back farmhouse and friendly with micro brewed varieties in house. Worth a visit 100%!!

    Salad

    Great atmosphere and service, not great pizza. The pizza looked amazing in reviews and pictures but the margarita pizza I got did not look like pictures and was not very good at all. Crust was overcooked and not in a good crispy way but a burnt tasting way. The sauce had a good flavor to it, but there was a very disappointing amount of mozzarella cheese and the undercarriage was super floppy. Basically just bread and not much else to the pizza. 4.2/10 Pizza Beer is super good and salad was good too. I'd like to come back in the future to try the sausage and pepperoni though it looked pretty solid.

    3 sausage platter with Slovenian, Polish, & French sausage (right to left)
    Rick R.

    Was in the area, which is rare, so I decided to stop and see what the hype was about. This place lived up to the hype for me. I decided to try the housemade sausage platter and scratch made pizza, since I don't know when I'll be back out here. You can order 3 or 5 sausages in the platter, which comes with fries, or order one sausage in a bun. I opted for 3 sausages. There were 7 choices, and I chose the Slovenian, Polish, and French because I like Polish sausage and never had Slovenian and French sausage. Wow! Sausages are grilled over open flame and all were spectacular, and the French was my favorite, as I found it to have the most unique flavor profile, as well as being very bold like "punch you in the face because it's so good"! The sausage platters come with fries, and I love crinkle cut fries, so bonus. There were a LOT of specialty pizza options, but my "control" is always Italian sausage and pepperoni. The pizza dough is made from scratch and baked in wood-fired oven, being carefully tended to. The spicy (but not overly spicy) Italian sausage with visible fennel seeds was excellent, as was the thin sliced pepperoni, which was wide and looked more line sopressata to me. The Grande cheese blend and sauce were also packed with flavor, with the sauce leaning toward spicy and savory versus sweet. I hope my leftovers reheat well. :) Service was friendly, welcoming, and considerate. The atmosphere was "family friendly" with a moderate noise level. They also have a large craft beer selection, which they make next door. I didn't try any beer on this visit, so I can't speak to it, but I'll bet there are at least a few beers I would like. I would 100% come here again, and I highly recommend making the trip here.

    They were short staffed so menu was limited to pizza and two appetizers. We wanted pizza anyways, got the Milwaukee pizza and a cheese pizza for the kids. Took over an hour, but they had some games which kept the kids occupied. Pizza was decent, great flavors, and toppings. Crust may have been a touch undercooked, not raw or doughy but another minute in the oven would have been perfect. Would like to come back and try some other items sometime, hopefully full menu is available!

We'll definitely come back for their Oktoberfest weekends where it sounds like they have thousands of people. We went on a Saturday in the early afternoon so we could get their beer special on liters but it didn't count for the beer we got. That's ok because the beer was great. The food was pretty tasty too, we started with a huge soft pretzel then had some other stuff including a beet Reuben. Yes I know, it sounds sacrilegious to have a vegetarian version of a Reuben but it was absolutely amazing and it helped us keep more room for beer and fun. This place is definitely worth the visit

This past visit we ordered the cheese board, which also came with a giant pretzel and some bread. Why? I have no idea. The pretzel was cold, and we didn't touch the bread. The cheeses on the board were just slices like you'd find in a deli. There was also lettuce, tomato, red onion and pickles on the side, but why? I have no idea. To make a sandwich? That's not the idea of a cheese board. Our friends ordered the salmon, which came with a side of brussel sprouts. I couldn't get past the color of the sprouts. Barely green. My friend passed on the whole dish. If you're looking to watch a game and grab a beer, this place is great for groups, and service is good. However, if you're looking for dinner too, I'd recommend eating elsewhere.

The first thing you see are the large brewing tanks where they make their signature beers. Then there is a collection of various tap heads. We arrived as they opened on a Saturday, so seating wasn't a problem. I decided to order the double smash burger with fries. The burger consists of two smashed beef patties, two slices of American cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, garlic aioli, on a sciortino's brioche bun for $16.50. The order was out quickly. The burgers were cooked to perfection and nicely seasoned. The cheese was melted and ozzed down the sides. The lettuce, tomato, and red onion were fresh and added a crispness to the burger. The fries were crispy and lightly salted. I was able to sample 2 of their IPA beers to decide which one I wanted. The Punch IPA was hoppy with strong citrus notes. The Hazy IPA was not as hoppy and did not have citrus notes. The later was my personal favorite. I ended up getting a 6 pack to go. Just off 1-43, it is easy to get to and worth coming back to.

Loved the whole brewery feel and setup. We arrived and were greeted by a host who just seemed bored by the whole thing. She walked us to a table, but was not friendly and didn't say much. We looked at the menu and they were out of several beers, which left us with only one choice for an IPA. I understand they have to brew the beer, but if they're out, it would be nice if they had some other IPAs on tap. Our server greeted us and she was reasonably friendly. We ordered a burger and fries each. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy my IPA and I love most IPAs. I wish there had been more choices. Our wait wasn't long. The fries were good, but our burgers were way overcooked. The garlic aioli was also not very flavorful. Our server was not the most attentive, but attentive enough. We don't require a lot. She did ask if we wanted dessert, which was great, though we declined. We got the check and a box, then we paid and left. I called less than 5 minutes later because I had forgotten my box. The host that answered the phone was not interested in helping with this issue, so I told her "you can see the booth from the host stand", and she alerted me she didn't see the box on the table, but did not offer to follow up or check with the server. It's my fault I left my box, but the host on the phone just didn't seem bothered about helping us. Atmosphere was great. Service, food, and beer all could have been better, so this wouldn't be my first choice for a return trip. As a side note, we've been to the other location a few times and had good experiences.
