Description
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.

Tap at One Barrel. Unfiltered red-purple body. Steady glass rimming off-white head. Quite nice raspberry tones. Really more of a fruit beer than a lambic. Juicy real raspberry. The sour tones are mild if anything, like it never took. Refreshing, one of the better beers they have made.
