14 Best Craft Breweries near Madison

“First visit today. Just a fun, friendly place in a great outdoor setting…like a seashore beach bar somehow got transported “up the mountains.” Only had time to try the porter but it was very good. Looking forward to returning and trying a few other beers.“

“First time here and we will definitely be back. The atmosphere is awesome! Not to mention the beers and cocktails!!🍹 🍻“

“Awesome selection of fantastic beers. Super friendly. Really awesome building. Highly recommend for all. Keep on rocking!“

“Was able to sample a variety of well done meads with family. Thoroughly enjoyed the slush collaboration and conversation with Heather. Nice spot with outdoor seating and spacious interior for tasting. Great service and highly recommended!“

“Huge selection of beers and some ciders. Great laid back vibe. This is a place where people come to have a couple drinks and unwind. The owners Tim and John are very kind people who take care of their staff. Place is always clean and welcoming to everyone. Kid friendly atmosphere that you can bring outside food to. Awesome location across from the Lamp Theater. New Crescent does have live entertainment and food trucks from time to time as well. Can't miss place in the heart of downtown Irwin.“

“On Mondays and Tuesdays they have sandwiches that are out of this world delishish! Good quality meats, roasted to perfection in house, placed on a fresh baked bun. They also have a different side and dessert each week. I recommend trying everything. You can't go wrong. The service is quick and friendly and there's something on tap for everyone's tastes.“

“Our baseball team, the Southport Mudcats, stopped by after a long day at the ballfield with a group of hungry players, parents, and families. Even though Wye Brewery was already busy, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. They quickly set up additional tables outside so our group could sit together, and they made us feel genuinely welcome.

What impressed us most was how fast the food came out despite the crowd. After spending all day at the field, that level of service was greatly appreciated by everyone. The food was great, the atmosphere was relaxed and family-friendly, and the staff handled a large group with professionalism and kindness.

We're from out of town, so we may not get back this way often, but if we do, we'd gladly stop in again. I would absolutely recommend Wye Brewery to both locals and anyone visiting the area. Thanks for taking such great care of our team and families!“

“my favorite good service food and drinks“

“Pizza was amazing. Fun time“

“Literally the best pizza I’ve had my whole life, and I don’t prefer Detroit Style. It is just so good that it change you forever. The beer is super awesome too and I’m with my friend Andrew which makes it super good. Shoutout to Karly who is also super awesome.“

“Nothing I enjoy better than a cold beer after cranking out some miles along the GAP trail. The Draft wagon from Bloom Brew which is the local craft brewery in West Newton, has four selections to choose from at this location with one choice being a cider. The convenience of this draft wagon along with the Outpost burger place next door is great. No waiting to be seated or a person to serve you. Order at the window and your all set! Opened in 2021, it is becoming a great place to enjoy a beer and chat up with other cyclists and the locals that stop by. All outdoor setting with plenty of shade to enjoy the day and your beverage of choice. The beer tenders are friendly and helpful.“

“Love this place but today we had to listen to Britney spears and 2000's pop. Ugh“

“My favorite local spot for a Cuban sandwich. Order the Havana Heaven panini with fries....you won't be let down.“
