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. Kind of stillish malty body. Not much depth or herbal character even. Almost more like an insipid bierre de garde than a pale ale. Piny tones. Almost OK.

On tap at Cooper’s Tavern in Madison, pours a murky black with some bright white head. Nose has burnt toast, some light coffee notes, pine resin, soap, herbs, dried citrus peel. Flavor balances roast and citrus well, toast, bread, orange, pine, soap. Full bodied, dry and bitter finish. Really solid and what you expect of the style.

Tap at One Barrel. Pretty decent for a Belgian Pale. Fresh. OK. The flavor profile is nice even if the mouthfeel and overall brewing techniques are weak and amateur. Approaching OK.

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.
