Craft Breweries near Madison

“Over the past five years I have been to (and heck reviewed) maybe 100 or 150 breweries. This is the best. Actually. I tried six of their beers, have a new favorite, but they were all consistently incredibly good. I took some home of three of them, and will be back for more. To be clear I will come back even though it's a three hour drive. Bah, so good.“

“This place is under new ownership. The new owners have done a lot to update this bar that has been here seemingly forever. The food here is always amazing, and the owners genuinely care about your experience here. Both of them are always working, and really making you feel like you're at home. It is small, but also super cozy. If you're ever in the area, stop by! If you haven't been there in a long time, step inside and give this little place by the lake another try. What you find here, may surprise you! :)“

“Carol is very sweet and has an amazing energy. Perfect for a bartender. Kayte is a great server and is knowledgeable about the food. I love how the place is decorated and is kept well maintained. The food is amazing and I love the buffalo chicken dip, it’s a must. 101/101 would recommend!!!“

“Awesome place. We were in the area for the winery tour, but we decided to swing by this brewery. Loved their variety of beers, unlike most breweries who typically focus on many versions of IPAS, they had a pumpkin beer, christmas ale, oatmeal stout, and a few others. Huge open space and also some private rooms, would definitely go back. The only critique would be they should hang a few TVs. I get the relaxing lounge theme with all of the couches, but they could lose a decent amount of business if someone wants to watch a particular sporting event.“
