It all started with brothers Carl and Mark Nolen and Brewmaster Kirby Nelson. Three Wisconsin born-and-raised regular guys who share a passion for the Badger State - its friendly people, bountiful resources, rich brewing heritage - and the idea that drawing on all of the above is the key to creating some really awesome beer.
We started brewing in August of 2013, setting off a perpetual motion machine of new brew creations that show no sign of stopping. Our top brands include Badger Club Amber, Red Arrow American Pale Ale, Chocolate Lab Porter, Yankee Buzzard IPA, Beer Frame Pilsner, Betray Ale, S'Wheat Caroline, Patron Saint Oktoberfest, Porter Joe, Wiskator and Depth Charge Scotch Ale.
Come and enjoy a pint (or two) afterwards in our Tap Room or Backyard Bar. We have free, outdoor concerts every Friday night from May through September, and other fun events throughout the year. Our Brewery is kid and dog-friendly. We do not offer food service, but outside food is welcome.
Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing. Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass deep black, small head. Roasty malty aroma. Starts fine malty, roasty, stouty. Some hints of bitter chocolate. Finish milder, earthy-malty. Maybe a bit flat. Okay.
Many thanks to Chris for bringing. Dry chocolate beginning, refreshing with a dry malty body. Not too deep, quite thin with a dry roasted chocolatey aftertaste.
Bottle shared with Erzengel. A dark brown beer with a small beige head. Aroma of chocolate malt, nuts, caramel. Taste of dark chocolate malt, nuts, caramel, some red fruits, okay!
12 ounce bottle, 8/18/18. Hazy orange, large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of citrus, tropical fruit, pale malt. Taste is citrus, pine, pale malt. Medium bodied. Boring, but decent execution.
12 ounce can, 8/18/18. Hazy amber, large dense foamy off-white head, good retention. Aroma of toasted malt, caramel, floral hops. Taste is caramel malt and not much else. Mild citrus hops in the finish. Medium bodied, crisp. It seems fresh at least.
Aroma’s good with caramel malt, and some fruit but no hops that I can really pick up. Average appearance. Flavors much better with hops being the highlight. Good body and finish. Decent enough beer overall but nothing really special.
