About
We brew unique beers, one barrel at a time

We also offer wines, hard ciders, a locally focused snack menu, and a generally laid back Wisconsin tavern vibe. In fact, the only thing we don’t offer are the answers to life’s greatest questions... although some say they can be found at the bottom of a glass.

12oz can. Rather plain, inoffensive. The coconut works well on one level, but also tends to add a boring sweetness that cover up the noble hops. I suppose I just had a good Pils right before this one, so the difference is noticeable. Cheap, gimmicky beer, lacks much depth and character, more streamlined gimmicky stuff from Octopi.

12 ounce bottle. Murky (of course) orange, large foamy off-white head, good retention. Aroma of pine, dandelion, pine, pale malt. Mmkay. Taste is vegetal, green, herbal hops, lime, pale malt. Medium bodied, juicy. Decent.

Tap at One Barrel. What seems to be a real cherry tone sort of mutes the belgo yeast in a pleasant way. Unfiltered cherry brown-red body. Off-white thin head. OK. Unique, fun small batch.

12 ounce bottle from Total Wine Brookfield. So I've had the base beer and cider. 3.6 and 3.4 respectively. So we will see if this is the same, greater, or lesser than the sum of its parts (3.5 being the sum of its parts). Disappointed to see this isn't actually a sour. Hazy yellow, thin fizzy head that fades very quickly. Aroma of bright mildly funky apples, pale malt. Taste is apple juice, apple skins, hay, earth, pale malt. Thin-medium bodied. Seems like the apple dominates. Lesser than the sum for sure.

12 ounce bottle from Woodman's Madison East. Clear amber, thin frothy tan head, good retention. Aroma of resin, grain, caramel. Taste is resin, piney, leafy hops, caramel malt. Medium bodied lingering bitterness. Seems dry hopped. Nice.

Aromas are fresh hops with a balance between resin and citrus along with a lot of caramel malt. Flavors are somewhat like nose but losing some of the hoppy qualities and getting mainly bitterness sweetness and carbonation. Okay body and finish.

12oz bottle. Sort of a culmination of many One Barrel IPAs. Deep, for the style at least, brown-copper body. Has some peachy mosaic or some relatively modern hop tones but smothered in an antiquated, caramel malt heavy, homebrewish body. Couple One Barrels lack of skill or finesse with Octopi's bland neutered mediocrity and this is what you get. It is drinkable, but a rather weak release for 2018.

A strong double IPA that leans more towards the resin profile which is not my favorite kind. Both Aroma and flavor display the resiny quality with some sweetness to help balance. Body is decent. Bittersweet finish. Decent enough beer.

Great Taste, 2017. Orange color and hazy. Earthy, lightly tart and dry but I cannot pick out specific flavors of the rose or cherries. It does not taste like it is sweetened which is good.

12 ounce bottle from Glorioso's. Hazy amber, large creamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of tropical fruit, resin, earth, and a plastic note. The taste is pine, resin, caramel. Medium bodied, boozy, overly bitter, astringent. Not good.
