    Longtime fan of Young Blood's incredibly inventive sour game with equally inventive names! Was able to stop in on a weeknight and enjoyed my visit. Would love to see flights added, as there are so many great beers on the list, then I could try them all in one visit! Service was great, friendly, and I'll have to visit in summer for patio vibes and to try their menu items.

    Loved the beer selection at this fun spot! They have some of the best sours I have ever had that are full of flavor with the perfect tang. The atmosphere is laid back and fun. Service was at the bar/counter and was great. We hung out for quite awhile and really enjoyed our experience. We even took a few 4 packs to go!

    What a great space! Friendly staff, AMAZING poutine, and tasty beer. I seriously laughed out loud at the hazy "Second Place In A Shovel Contest". Bonus points on it being as amazing as the name!

    Welcoming & helpful bartenders! Delicious beers, definitely the place to go if you're a fan of sours! Lovely outdoor seating & nice atmosphere inside. Interesting food menu but just had drinks. Not far from the square.

    Wow! They had so many fun beers and names. It was heaven for me since so many were fruity sours. I got the unsupervised at target and it was a fruit punch sour - so good! Very fruity and just the right bit of tart. They also have some brat options - I didn't get one but people in my party said they were good! I did try some fries and those were good. The bartender seemed very annoyed when I asked for a sample of two sours, but obliged. Kind of weird thing to be off about, maybe it was just a grumpy kind of day but didn't ruin the experience. Wish this was closer to me!

    Aesthetically pleasing, FANTASTIC music, the craft sour selection was great and we all enjoyed our food. Will definitely be back!

    Young Blood is one of my favourite breweries in Madison. I was not much of a sour ale fan, but this place changed my opinion completely. I now love trying new sours and I especially love their seasonal stouts. They've recently redone the food menu and my favourites so far are the crunch wraps and their mofo veggies. It's also a fun place to meet friends after work, as well a great place to do some work on the weekends. The ambiance has a homey feel and the service has always been impeccable. If you go on Tuesdays or Fridays, don't forget to say hi to Steve at the bar. He's a treasure trove of information on beer and is generally a fun person to talk to.

    I have had Young Blood beer on tap from the Memorial Union and so naturally had to check out one of their taprooms. We did several appetizers and I thought they were all very tasty! The barbacoa nachos had great flavor and the chips were delicious. The trashy but classy deviled eggs had a really nice savory flavor which was slightly different from regular old deviled eggs. I loved the fried veggies too! Beautiful location right near the square with a nice patio. The bartender was also helpful and polite.

    Young Blood is the reason I live near the capitol. As a recent Milwaukee transplant and major beer snob I knew I had to be walking distance from one of the best breweries in the state when I relocated. This is an amazing brewery with the coolest vibe and delish snacks. I'll leave specific beer rating to Untappd but know that they are all kick ass and the food is just as good- especially the crunch wrap! I also love the greenery they have brought in, making the space vibrant and homey even in the dead of winter.

    A brief search of local Madison breweries before my visit, looking for sour and fruity options on menus, brought me to Young Blood Beer. My friend (and chauffeur) who I was visiting was already planning on us spending some time in the downtown area, so Young Blood made it on to the list to visit on that particular day. To my utter sadness, they don't (or at least didn't at the time) offer flights. And ya gurl likes trying ALL THE THINGS. But I was pretty sure I was going to like the sours on the menu. And indeed I did! We sat at the bar for our couple of beers and enjoyed our brief visit. At the end there was some confusion about what options were available for carry out as there were two different menus floating around. That led to some disappointment for me and for the things I was looking forward to bringing home with me. It also felt like the bartender was annoyed with me/us as we were trying to figure out what was actually buy-able, but I was trying to make a decision based on the menu that was put in front of me. I really liked their sour beers, the space was pretty cool and inviting. They have a kitchen and a small menu, in case you get a little nibbly. I would certainly go back again. If nothing else, I'll keep an eye out for their offerings at local shops when I am passing through the area.

It's the perfect place to spend a relaxed afternoon -- good beer, friendly staff, and a laid-back vibe that's never too crowded. The space itself is great -- high ceilings, big windows that let in tons of natural light, and a nice open layout. The outdoor patio overlooking the pond is especially beautiful when the weather's nice. It's also dog-friendly, which we love! Our pup is always happy to come along, and we even picked up one of their dog toys from the merch area -- easily her new favorite. They've got some fun merch for humans too. The beer selection is solid, with something for everyone. We've really enjoyed the Lil Louie Lager and Badger Club Amber, and they always have a few rotating taps that keep things interesting. The staff has been consistently friendly and welcoming every time we've visited. If there's one area for improvement, it's the atmosphere. The space itself is awesome, but it sometimes feels like it's missing a little energy I'd love to see more events, live music, or themed nights to bring the place to life. It has so much potential to be a real community hub. Overall, Wisconsin Brewing Company is absolutely worth checking out great beer, great staff, and a beautiful, dog-friendly spot to unwind. With just a little more happening in the space, it could easily be a five-star destination.

Great Dane Pub has become one of my favorite spots in Madison for a variety of reasons from the drinks, vibes, service and community support! Situated on the corner of Doty and King in downtown Madison, Great Dane is a welcome sight for any visitor or local looking for a chill spot to have a solid drink, tasty bite and/or a good time! The pub is one large space, but it is separated into a few unique areas. One side is quintessential pub with a long bar, lots of dark woods, and a good sized dining room. The other is more of a pool hall vibe where you will find the other side of the bar, several pool tables, lots of TV's, high tops, darts, etc...We have bellied up to both sides of the bar and while I like both sides, I prefer the vibe of the pub side. They have a fairly extensive food menu with several bar/pub classics such as wings, nachos and burgers. But they also offer a good variety of sandwiches, bowls, salads, soups and even tacos. While we are normally here for the drinks, we do enjoy the cheese curds, wings and poutine! Speaking of drinks, they always have a great menu of house cocktails that is constantly updated for seasonality. I have had several iterations of cocktails and since I visit a few times a year, I always get to try new seasonal cocktails and beers! Service is always stellar here, no matter what side of the bar you are on. Welcoming, friendly and helpful...every time! Overall, I am an absolute fan of The Great Dane Pub!

Fortunately there was just enough shade outside that the tables and chairs were out of the sun to watch the band. Delta doesn't have a very attractive outdoor space but that is not unlike other small microbreweries around here. They had quite a few beers to choose from though most were not my taste. I did settle on their German pils which was quite good. My wife opted for a kombucha that she liked. They do have a number of non-alcoholic choices too and even a few mixed drinks... Given it was their version of Octoberfest they had a food vendor outside and I understand they often have food trucks because I am not sure what other food choices they have beyond a tombstone-like pizza I saw someone eating. We didn't spend anytime inside but it looked like a typical microbrewery with high top tables and lots of games.

The bartender assured us that their vegan options were incredible. MadisonTap features many local Wisconsin beers on tap. They seem to often rotate the beers and keep a solid selection.
