6 Best Craft Breweries near Onalaska

“We stopped at six breweries in the La Crosse area over the course of three days and this was the best beers by a landslide. We did a flight and all were solid. The porter was especially amazing, even on a hot day. We met the owners (Todd and Jennifer) and they were great to talk to as well.

They only have snack type food and allow outside carey-in for food, but are working on their kitchen setup so expect that to change in the near future.

Our only regret with Skeleton Crew was stopping on the last day of our visit, as it meant we could not stay as long as we wanted to. We will definitely be back.“

“The back patio is an great space to sit and talk, plenty of room, and variety of styles available“

“Great tasting brews, and wines. Bartenders are knowledgeable on what you may drink in their brewery. They are also knowledgeable about the local bars and restaurants in downtown La Crosse for food to go and enjoyment of the downtown area. I got to enjoy the taste of the Cherry Stout, roasty and chocolate malt character with just a kiss of dark sweet cherry, ABV 6.9%. On a personal note, it's a stout flavor, with the consistency of a Porter.“

“Went to Pearl Street Brewery for the first time in years with some friends. We arrived early and had the place to ourselves for a bit, but by the time we left it was packed. I ordered their V/O Hazy, and even though I’m not usually a big fan of hazies, this one might have converted me.“

“It was a beautiful day to enjoy the patio! We shared shrimp tacos & smoked wings. They were both outstanding in taste. Smoked wings & delicious sauces were perfectly paired, best ever! Shrimp Tacos were also the best we've ever had as well. Fresh tasty shrimp with the most unique slaw ever. I wanted to order a bowl of slaw on the side! Beer was spot on & refreshing. Delicious IPA. Our server 'M' had an excellent personality was amazing, very attentive & made our experience there fabulous! Kudos to the cook & entire team here! We will certainly be back & will recommend as a must stop place! 👏“

“TANKER: For Corn syrup unloading park at green right next to train tracks facing south on the shoulder. Come from north on Front St so you can park facing south, no street parking there so might be good to come close to your appointment since on the shoulder only 2 trucks can park. You will unload on red facing into loading dock.You need 2 hoses to unload.“
