Great experience! Amazing Midwest customer serve, delicious bites & live music to boot! Perfect start to a weekend away read more

What a great concept. Every type of beer imaginable on tap in a modern clean setting. You can buy 2oz or up to a full pint. You pay by the ounce. Why more places don't do this is a shame. The food was excellent as well. I will be back. read more

What an incredible experience! We ended up here to use our token from the New Glarus Brewery and it was sooo worth it! The employees couldn't have been any nicer. The variety of options was fantastic. The concept of getting a card and pouring however much you want is great. You can take smaller pours until you find the right option. I personally loved the New Glarus raspberry beer. There is free popcorn as well as a food menu. The beer garden to the side is super cute and perfect for a summer day. There was even live music the day we were there. The live musician was very talented and elevated the experience. Thanks Dirty Dog Taphaus for the fun experience! read more

My first time here and really enjoyed it. It was the perfect post-New Glarus Brewing spot. With a couple New Glarus beers on tap to use my free beer token and then a ton of other pour-your-own beers to choose from, there was something for everyone. I love the setup of pouring your own beers because it makes it so easy to try tons of beers. The venue is also great - split half outside and half inside with magnetic screens for bugs makes it easy to walk around and sit where you want. There was also free music on Friday nights and it was full of locals supporting the musician. Had a great time! read more

Fabulous, woman owned tap house that checks all the boxes. It was a cold day I was here but saw theres a great outdoor space that in the summer would be wonderful. The inside is more like a coffeehouse vibe that has 30-ish taps where you can sample small amounts or fill your pint. You get a card at the register and tap the beer of your choice fill as much as you want and be done. Know that the card has a consumption limit which is smart. I confess, Ive never been to a beer experience like this before and it was great. There's live music and free popcorn. We were only stopping for 1 beer each and ended up staying 2 hours. Don't pass this place up! read more

Great atmosphere and fun drink options!!! Food good be a little bit better, but it's an overall great spot!

A brewery with an innovative and fun twist! Step into Dirty Dog Taphaus and your eyes will be drawn immediately to the long line of taps not behind a bar / manned by a bartender. That's right-the 30 taps here are self-serve and the variety/possibilities are endless. You can do tasting after tasting - you're charged by the ounce - or fill up a full glass and move to the distinctive, stylish outside patio space. Or lounge indoors and enjoy some complimentary popcorn along with the rustic touches and a game. Bonus! The entire place is dog-friendly. To get started, head to the cashier and fill a plastic electronic card with some funds. Then head to the taps. Hold up your card to the tap you want to open and fill your cup up to your heart's content! When you're ready to call it a day head back to the cashier and any unused finds on your card will be returned to you - if you loaded with cash. Noteworthy: they are accommodating / customer first. While visiting, I wanted a sour beer and they didn't have any on tap. I asked about another brew closest to a sour and they went ahead and added a sour to a tap in just a few minutes! Double Bonus: They had complimentary stickers available at the indoor check-out/in bar. Overall, in a town synonymous with "Spotted Cow" aka New Glarus Brewery this brewery is a good & welcome addition plus... the location is fantastic - in the heart of the town's downtown by all the action. read more

Great beer garden and pour your own concept. No ordering remorse! The owners and staff are friendly and helpful, and they were hard at work on Fathers Day treating dads to some relaxing family time. When you arrive you get a card which opens the taps for you and counts your pours. Each tap has a screen with the price per oz and info about the beverages. Then you pick your favorite to try a few sips, or a whole pint. They have beers, seltzers, and even a regular root beer for the kids. Free popcorn, and an appetizer menu. We had the cheese curds, chicken, and pretzel bites. The only thing to make this better would be more shade outside for the patio. read more

This place is awesome! We stopped for "one beer" and stayed a couple hours. It is a modern tap house where you get a card and pay as you pour your own, by the ounce. Hey, they give a Veteran discount and I was thanked profusely for my service! Great beers on tap, try a little or a lot. Hillary showed us the ropes and was totally amazing! She is gregarious and fun as a hostess! We got a chance to try many different things, but not the food. We'll definitely be back despite being two hours away. Oh, and also dog friendly! read more

EVERYONE needs to experience this Taphaus! We can't say enough about the wonderful time we had here this past weekend! This was our first time here, but by no means were we not greeted and treated like local longstanding customers. Leah took the time to explain to us how the card system works and even went over to the tap wall to show me in person. Countless options for all the beer drinkers; IPAs all the way to a variety of ciders. The McKenzie's Black Cherry Hard Cider was my fav ;) Both chilled and room temp glasses available to be used. Loved the outdoor layout, table options, lots of shaded seats to beat the heat while with the dog. Happened to be National Dog day, to which the dog was spoiled with a generous Pup cup! Very dog friendly atmosphere! Loved our first night so much, we were back for night 2. Great music, countless games to play, delicious food and many beers drank! I don't know who loved coming here more; us or the dog! Walked away with swag, memories, and confirming we aren't dehydrated! Wonderful experience and such genuinely kind owners that made all the difference! We will be back and definitely recommending family and friends to stop by! read more

We stood in lines me to order our own food, got our own drinks. Then it took an hour to get food when all it was was fried chicken strips. When we asked for the "free" popcorn we were told it wasn't for the public ????? Food was nothing special. Then we went to check ourselves out and a 10% tip was automatically added to our bill. For what I'd like to know. All I know is I won't be back. Too many good restaurants that know what they are doing. read more

This was such a nice find on a Saturday afternoon stop in New Glarus! We liked the pour it beer system and enjoyed the onion rings and the bratwurst. The guys playing the alpenhorns capped off the atmosphere! read more
