Most people don't know (I didn't, at least) they are #1 energy drink and specialty drink producer in the country! Myself and three friends went on a brewery tour to start off the weekend at a friend's cabin. It was one of the best brewery tours I've been on! They let you behind the scenes every step of the process. The best part? It's a tie between an energy drink right of the line or the hospitality room at the end. Men wearing beard nets was relatively entertaining as well!

Plenty of other options as well if you're not into that type. Literally a wall full! Staff was friendly and the ultimate win was indoor and outdoor seating.

Another bonus was the food truck outside if you want a quick bite with your drink!

He gave us a free pint chip so we had to come redeem! My husband ended up getting the Classic Cream Ale which he really enjoyed! I got the Bluemound Road Mulberry Sour that was also really tasty. What my husband loved most though is the super casual atmosphere of people chatting & the best part was there's a Vietnamese food truck outside!! I imagine the food truck rotates but the food (Saigon Express) is great quality, you can order from your phone, and she'll bring it in for you! When it's 5 degrees outside, you really can't beat that. We ended up staying for a cute date night and played Phase 10 without feeling rushed out or that they needed our table. The bartenders were all super sweet, let us try a few samples and we had a super great time!

They have a few year-round options that you can't go wrong with, but I love trying their rotating and experimental options the most. You can tell the love and care they put into the product. They typically will have some sort of charcuterie option, and those are a must. I've never had a better apple than here, and it makes sense. The cheese offerings are always delicious as well. In my experience, the service is top tier as well. The kind where they offer suggestions and have conversations with you. Must stop!

I could come just to wander around and be happy, but that doesn't get the pages stamped, so, in we went. The gal working asked what we like & we told her we don't typically like ciders. We prefer dry wines and dark beers & that the hubs likes his IPAs. She suggested we try the 2 specific ciders the 1 for me based on my wine preferences & the 1 for the hubs based on his love of IPAs. She nailed it. They were both good choices and we each preferred the one she recommended for us, individually. We did sample a sweeter option and, nope, still no go.

The brewery has a large indoor and outdoor space, and we especially appreciated that it's dog friendly, so we were able to bring our pup inside with us. Outside, there was plenty of room for dogs to stretch their legs, along with lots of shaded tables to relax. Their beer menu was extensive--almost too many options to choose from! They definitely lean into unique flavors, with offerings like a pickle margarita beer and a mango wheat that made for a fun tasting experience. While none of the beers ended up being favorites for us, we still enjoyed the atmosphere.

(I'm making a point of noting this in reviews for other dog owners who are ridiculous like us and want to take them everywhere. You're welcome.) Of course we ordered flights. Of course it was a little too much beer. Of course we didn't care. The only thing that could have been better would have been a little food stand inside the very large brewery (or a partnership with a food truck or two) because really it was quite a bit of beer on an empty stomach.
