    I was in WI for business this week and had some extra time before returning home so I made the drive from Green Bay to Madison and it was worth the adventure! I had Board of Ed cider and WOKE coffee, both were delicious! The service was friendly, the vibe was exactly what I had hoped for! I was only disappointed that Kirk was not there so I could say hi! I was visiting for NH and so appreciate everything this business stands for! I am bringing home some WOKE and resistance Pilsner and a few tshirts

    This brewery promotes the death of a USA President with FREE BEER. I find the owner to be beyond distasteful. He is hateful.

    This brewery is described as "Progressive". As far as value? Nothing special, unless you wish the US president dead. The brewery beer is below average. Service is poor in regard to attitude. The ambiance gets zero, due to pushing agendas and opinions onto patrons. I would never recommend this place for a beer. BTW: Politics & death wishes do not go well with a nice cold beer. The owner, workers & locals should be ashamed.

The indoor space is cute with an open concept surrounding their brewing equipment and hanging plants with cozy dim lighting, and the outdoor patio is nice in the summer especially to bring dogs. They have slowly been improving their food offerings over time. I usually get one of their crunch wraps but tried the chicken club this time and it was delicious, as were the fries! It did get a little messy at the end since there is a lot in between the bread, but it was worth it. There could have been more aioli on the sandwich but I just asked for a side of it and used it for both that and my fries which was perfect. The background music has always been great and the staff have always been lovely.

It's the perfect place to spend a relaxed afternoon -- good beer, friendly staff, and a laid-back vibe that's never too crowded. The space itself is great -- high ceilings, big windows that let in tons of natural light, and a nice open layout. The outdoor patio overlooking the pond is especially beautiful when the weather's nice. It's also dog-friendly, which we love! Our pup is always happy to come along, and we even picked up one of their dog toys from the merch area -- easily her new favorite. They've got some fun merch for humans too. The beer selection is solid, with something for everyone. We've really enjoyed the Lil Louie Lager and Badger Club Amber, and they always have a few rotating taps that keep things interesting. The staff has been consistently friendly and welcoming every time we've visited. If there's one area for improvement, it's the atmosphere. The space itself is awesome, but it sometimes feels like it's missing a little energy I'd love to see more events, live music, or themed nights to bring the place to life. It has so much potential to be a real community hub. Overall, Wisconsin Brewing Company is absolutely worth checking out great beer, great staff, and a beautiful, dog-friendly spot to unwind. With just a little more happening in the space, it could easily be a five-star destination.

It was super nice. She gave us a few samples to try, and then we placed our order for a Vienna beer and one other. We took it outside because they were closing early because of the holiday. Inside was super cool with tables. You can see the brewing tanks outside was equally as impressive with some patio tables and chairs as well as some chairs along the water and some outdoor games. I wish we had more time cause I would've loved to have tried some food and maybe some other beverages. Definitely will come back.

Great Dane Pub has become one of my favorite spots in Madison for a variety of reasons from the drinks, vibes, service and community support! Situated on the corner of Doty and King in downtown Madison, Great Dane is a welcome sight for any visitor or local looking for a chill spot to have a solid drink, tasty bite and/or a good time! The pub is one large space, but it is separated into a few unique areas. One side is quintessential pub with a long bar, lots of dark woods, and a good sized dining room. The other is more of a pool hall vibe where you will find the other side of the bar, several pool tables, lots of TV's, high tops, darts, etc...We have bellied up to both sides of the bar and while I like both sides, I prefer the vibe of the pub side. They have a fairly extensive food menu with several bar/pub classics such as wings, nachos and burgers. But they also offer a good variety of sandwiches, bowls, salads, soups and even tacos. While we are normally here for the drinks, we do enjoy the cheese curds, wings and poutine! Speaking of drinks, they always have a great menu of house cocktails that is constantly updated for seasonality. I have had several iterations of cocktails and since I visit a few times a year, I always get to try new seasonal cocktails and beers! Service is always stellar here, no matter what side of the bar you are on. Welcoming, friendly and helpful...every time! Overall, I am an absolute fan of The Great Dane Pub!

On a very hot Saturday afternoon we made our way to this location not too far off the Beltline. Fortunately there was just enough shade outside that the tables and chairs were out of the sun to watch the band. Delta doesn't have a very attractive outdoor space but that is not unlike other small microbreweries around here. They had quite a few beers to choose from though most were not my taste. I did settle on their German pils which was quite good. My wife opted for a kombucha that she liked. They do have a number of non-alcoholic choices too and even a few mixed drinks... Given it was their version of Octoberfest they had a food vendor outside and I understand they often have food trucks because I am not sure what other food choices they have beyond a tombstone-like pizza I saw someone eating. We didn't spend anytime inside but it looked like a typical microbrewery with high top tables and lots of games.
