There were two women working on the day we went, and they were both hilarious and made it a lot of fun. They were maybe a bit busier than they expected to be, but they were having fun and our wait time went by quickly.

Great small town brewery…read more The first brewery in Northwest Wisconsin. Valkyrie Brewery had been around for 24 years. Can you believe that? 24 years in a town of 400 inhabitants. That says volumes about community and good beer. This was our 2nd time visiting the brewery. We were passing through town on our way elsewhere and decided to stop. When we arrived not many people were in the taproom, just us, one other patron and both owners. True small town hospitality, everybody was friendly and welcoming as we joined the fun at the bar. There are no flights but you do get 4 free samples to try the beers. All together there are 14 beers on tap. After the samples you can order a 10 oz or 16 oz. The 10 oz is only $2 and the 16 oz is $7 and you get to keep the pint glass. That's a lot of beer to try and they have a lot to offer. The beers range from retro American lager, black IPA, Porter, bock, red lager and many more. For those who are not beer drinkers they do offer a cider, 4 Bitten Fruit. It's very refreshing, like an apple champagne. For designated drivers they have a homemade root beer. We were in for a treat as they offer a brewery tour at 1pm on Saturdays. We decided to take it and it was just us and the owner/brewmaster Randy. I mentioned it's a town of 400, right? But it is also winter and tourist traffic has definitely slow down. The brewing takes place in the basement if the building. They use old dairy equipment for a lot of the brewing processes. This isn't some glittering high end bank loan established brewery. This was probably the most informative and interesting tour I've been on in a long time. Or perhaps the most attentive since it's small. After the tour we head back upstairs to the main bar to run down the tap line and sample all the beers! That's quite a bit of beer. Great way to finish the tour and enjoy the wide range of offerings. Talking about the qualities and subtleties of flavors in the beers. Space is open with a variety of seating. Plenty of cribbage boards and card games to keep you and your group entertained. They offer free popcorn and range of spices to top it with. Ann Lee, the other owner, has her paintings on the walls for sale. Overall highly recommend if you're looking for good beer in Northwest WI.

I love this place! Ive been to 95% of the breweries in Wisconsin and this is on the top of a short…read morelist for me. To me it is the essence of craft brewing which is actually hard to find now a days. It isn't some bank rolled investment opportunity like so many are. It hasn't out grown its roots like so many have. It's a couple of owners who really like beer and hosting guests. They concentrate on the beer and ambiance over franchising and distribution area. They have been brewing for 24 years and you can tell. They are well entrenched in the industry and have a vast knowledge of brewing beer and showing people a good time. The brewery is in a small town surrounded by country roads. The brewery is in an old brick Ford dealership turned creamery right on the main drag. The bar is both spacious and cozy. The walls are covered with murals and beautiful home made art work. The husband and wife proprietors are true artists. There are over 14 taps and all with good independent flavors. I think a lot of craft breweries have 8 beers and they all taste about the same. Not here. There is something for everyone, even a cider. We were lucky enough to be there at 1pm on a Saturday which is tour time! Randy took us around and showed us everything there is to know. Since it was an early fall snow storm the tour consisted of just my girlfriend, me, and Randy. He provided as little or as much information as you could handle. We have been on many tours and he connected so many dots. He had an expansive brewing knowledge that he broke down to lamens like us very well. As you might guess the brewery equipment was mostly all modified dairy tanks and used 1960s pig iron. It was a lot of fun. It reminds you that skill and knowledge make good beer, not loans and new stainless steel.

We were immediately greeted and sat down. Our waitress brought our the menus and water. She recommended so many different options for us but since we were in Wisconsin we started with Cheesecurds, shared a half slab of ribs and my husband had the burger. The cheese-curds were oooey and gooey and delicious! They came out piping hot! The ribs were recommended as they were just finished being smoked! Their bbq sauce is incredible. It also came with honey mustard, and a choice of soup or salad. We were told everything this made from scratch and that things were made fresh daily! So incredible! The restaurant is a bit tucked away, but the prices are super fair for the portions! Next time we're in town we will definitely be back!

In the summer months, make sure you check out the exterior patio space which includes luscious green grass, yard games, a gazebo, fire pit, large benches, adirondack chairs and more. Offering wood fire pizzas, varying specials such as soups and sandwiches, along with kombucha on tap and other drinks, makes this a must stop. The cherry on top? Dogs are encouraged! We were fortunate enough to spend my grandpa's 103rd birthday here and enjoyed the atmosphere, friendly patrons and staff members. I'd like to thank the staff for allowing us to place our own tablecloth down and be so open to us serving cake to those near us. What a lovely evening we had! Note: check out the website for specialty classes such as yoga, art, and music. Some are located in the upstairs loft area while others, such as music, are outdoors. You could also use this as a small wedding venue!

Stop #54 on our Hundreds of Hops self-guided US Hop Passport Brewery Tour…read more I'm getting some side-eye from the hubs on giving Amery 3 stars &, believe me, i wish i could justify a higher rating. The signage is great & the property is fantastic. Staff are welcoming, energetic and plentiful. There are a variety of products available for purchase, such as soap made from the beer... pretty cool. Add in the very reasonable pricing. We had 2 pints and pretzel bites for $10 after our discount. So, the 3 stars come down to a brewery is only as good as its beer. While they do have some decent guest taps, the in-house brews are lacking. Finish on the summer wheat was like alka seltzer, and the porter was only a touch better. Worth a visit? Absolutely! Though I'd likely choose a guest tap offering instead

The bar area that we walked through seemed like a great place to gather and enjoy a cold beverage. My wife ordered the grilled shrimp and she said it was some of the best she has had in a long time. I ordered the t-bone steak and it was cooked the way I ordered it and came with a lot of Montreal steak season on it but it did taste just fine. Our server kept the kids drinks full as well as our beers full. Before we left we got to meet the owners and both of them where very nice and shared some information about their great smoked meats they're so proud of. We will be back to try this out as we don' t live too far away.

The food is a step up from the typical "bar" food you find in the north woods. The pulled pork is wonderful (sandwich and nachos). Cheese curds come with two dipping sauces, ranch and chipotle-ranch choices. The broasted chicken is my favorite in the area, but not served on Fridays. Fridays they have a fish fry. They have a dining area that is separate from the bar area, both serve drinks and food. The restaurant is clean and there is a good atmosphere. We will be back.
