Located on the shores of Lake Michigan, Milwaukee is perhaps best known for its famous breweries and the Major League Brewers, but there's more to the city than beer and baseball. Milwaukee is rich in historical and cultural attractions, making it the perfect place for a weekend of exploring. Check out the newly expanded Milwaukee Art Museum or the Mitchell Park Horticultural Society, which hosts an annual show of the same flora and fauna seen in Georgia O'Keefe's paintings. Those interested in the city's history can visit the grand Pabst Mansion, former home of one of the city's famous beer barons, or the Milwaukee Public Museum, to see what life was like in Old Milwaukee. If the kids are along, don't miss the Milwaukee County Zoo or the Betty Brinn Children's Museum. Of course a trip to the "Genuine American City" would not be complete without a tour of the Miller Brewing Company and a Brewers game at Miller Park.

We are a certified organic, grain-to-glass distillery in Milwaukee's Bay View neighborhood. Our tasting room features an ever-changing menu of innovative craft cocktails, and no-cover live music most Fridays. Distillery tours are led by the founder and distiller on Saturday afternoons at 1pm, 3pm, 5pm & 7pm.
Spent a long weekend in Milwaukee. Did several tours and tastings of distilleries and breweries. This was the best one by far. Brian, the owner led the tour. He shows great passion for his craft, and it really shows in the products he has created. He has the basics (vodka, gin, rum) which are all excellent. It's the experimental liqueurs that are out of this world. The weekend we were there, he had a coffee vodka and a chai liqueur. These are small batch products, which he says run out quickly on the weekend. We were on the first tour on a Saturday, and at least three others on our tour bought a bottle of the chai, and they only had 12 bottles available. Get there early!

This is one of the most unique breweries in Milwaukee, with some of the most creative beers on tap. Since they have grown a bit, more beers are on tap and more styles are available. Pop in, have a glass or two, and take some bottles to go. You won't regret the visit.

Tucked back in an old industrial building going through renovations, this can be a slight challenge. Once inside the small brewery, you get an excellent view of the brew tanks and equipment because they are basically right behind the bar area and elevated. Unique details round out this experience (check out the bathrooms). Service was friendly and the beer was good. A great small craft brewery experience!
