Visited Minocqua last week while at a conference. Had a couple of IPA's and left rather underwhelmed. Service was slow and the ambiance just wasn't my vibe. We ended up going to Vintage Brewing and enjoyed that scene. read more

A snarky, un-American social media presence doesn't mean the beer is good. Why do you think this place posts all of the garbage on its social media? The beer is mid, the staff is mid and the spot is dirty. Save your time and money and go to another brewery. This place sucks. read more

I hate to write bad reviews but do better. I cannot believe the service the provide it's utterly ridiculous that someone would call for this. read more

Minocqua Brewing Company - Hoping the fbi is checking into this. - Breweries Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

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 read more

Minocqua Brewing Company - View of the bar - Breweries Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

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. read more

Minocqua Brewing Company - This brewery promotes the death of a USA President with FREE BEER. I find the owner to be beyond distasteful. He is hateful. - Breweries Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Wouldn't recommend this to anyone I care about. The place is run down and you are treated poorly if you have any questions for the staff. They are very intolerant. read more

Worst customer service I've ever had. Wasn't impressed at all with the beer selections. Food was marginal. Go elsewhere. I do not recommend.

Worse beer I have ever tried and everyone was rude...Terrible...How they stay in business when they have their patrons.

Traveled through for business, looked like a neat place. Great menu, unfortunately that's about where it ended. I went to the bathroom, it looked like the worst of the worst highway-side gas station bathrooms. Feces everywhere. I put that aside, and tried to order a sandwich, but they were out of, get this, bread! I went ahead and ordered the mini pizza, which was obviously frozen from the grocery store. I don't know how these places expect to stay in business, but I won't be back. read more

After reading the reviews, it's sounds like the owner and possibly the staff would rather endanger their customers with their hostile comments, rather than serve beer. With all the craziness out there, I would never put my family in harms way and patron this establishment. If you're looking for craft beer, you're looking for chill vibes. Plenty of those spots out there! read more

Warm beer & salty food. The environment was not welcoming and inclusive. The staff was not attentive. I do not recommend! Stay away!

Everything, Its a dumpster fire wrapped in a clown show. Beer is warm and skanky Entire place smells like feet read more

Went here last night with some friends for a little R&R. The atmosphere was fine but the beer was horrible. Our group tried several ones and I'm not sure what the hype is about. Fries were cold and not crispy. Also, found a hair in my friend's Cobb salad. Server seemed annoyed when we told her about it. Many other places that have better food and beer. Go somewhere else. read more

Toilet water would taste better than this beer. Tried it last year when traveling the area. Would not recommend.

Beer tastes like urine. Flat. Service sucks. Save your money. Ambiance is non existent. Do not patronize

Awful, would never go there again. Awful food, beer, service. Save yourself the time and go somewhere else.

If disappointment had a tap handle, it'd be this place. Beer tasted like it was brewed in a mop bucket--flat, off, and somehow worse with every sip. The place itself? Filthy. Tables sticky, floors questionable, and the kind of grime that makes you wonder if "cleaning" is just a rumor here. Service was a complete train wreck. Slow, inattentive, and acting like customers were an inconvenience instead of the reason they're even open. And the cherry on top? Ownership that manages to match the overall vibe--arrogant, abrasive, and completely detached from how bad the experience actually is. Save your time, your money, and your taste buds. There are way better spots that actually deserve it. read more

Found it to be too pretentious and did not enjoy the vibe of the establishment. Food was bland, drinks were expensive would not return.

Kirk was a nasty SOB and refused to seat me in a timely fashion. The beer tastes like piss and was warm. Make America Great Again. read more

Minocqua Brewing Company - Criminal homo - Breweries Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Everything about this place is mediocre at best, the beer, service, ambiance and especially the character of the owner.

I went in hoping to find some good craft beer but all I saw was political crap. The one beer I had tasted watered down. I don't go to breweries to get involved. I go to escape the nonsense. I suggest no one goes here unless you like all the political nonsense. read more

Service is terrible and staff were rude, and the beer was nothing to brag about! Inside was okay and bathrooms were dirty.

Unique beer names do not translate into good beer. I'm surprised every day isn't free beer day as it's not worth buying.

The customer service is terrible! I had their beer shipped to my home and three of the bottles were broken. They told me it was a result of colonial oppression? Whatever man. The three that I could drink tasted like piss. read more

Horrible service. The vibe was totally cringe. There was nothing exciting about this place.

Stopped in there on my way home, first off this place is not ADA compliant and I'm filing a complaint for that, I drank some of their crappy libtard beer and practically crapped my pants, dashed for the toilet but it was clogged by a previous victim so had to hang my butt into the sink, created the best brown bone broth stew, left it in that sink for some thirsty liberal to indulge in as its organic free range properties and scent supposedly help with TDS. read more

I enjoy good beer and you usually get the best in the USA in Wisconsin, but I like to enjoy my beer without the politics. I cannot in good conscience patronize this establishment anymore, not after their recent comments. America is a nation with free speech and that includes criticism of politicians, but when it gets THAT extreme-no more. There are better breweries in Wisconsin and far better ownership. read more

I went to this brewery hoping the beer would be the worst part. Somehow, the staff and owner managed to compete for that title. The beer was awful across the board -- flat, bitter in the wrong ways, and tasting like someone guessed their way through the brewing process. But the service made the whole experience even worse. The staff acted annoyed that customers existed, and the owner came across as rude, dismissive, and completely uninterested in fixing anything. Bad beer is one thing. Bad beer served with a bad attitude is impressive in the worst possible way. Would not recommend unless you enjoy paying to be disappointed twice. read more

The white staff made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. Being a small Hispanic woman, it was very concerning. You could tell there was a lot of anger and hatred in their eyes. Not a friendly or inclusive space. read more

Watched the owner having a full on meltdown on an employee in the back, very unprofessional, seemed unhinged....apparently they caught him doing something sexual with his cat in the back office. It was loud and weird. The beer was overpriced and the ambience was like being at a funeral. read more

The beer was bitter, the prices were too high and the service was below average. I also did not like the food, way too salty and greasy. The atmosphere was not vibing for me. Avoid this place! read more

Rude staff and dirty environment. Tables aren't cleaned and staff scoffs and acts as if you are bothering them if you ask for something. Far better places in the area read more

We stopped by Minocqua Brewing Company while in town from Chicago and we had a GREAT time! There was a live musician when we walked in and he was great. It seems like there are often events! Their election watch party for Tuesday sounded like a great place to be that night! The brewery was full of folks for the live music and the impending Packers game. Everyone was very friendly with one another and it had a great community vibe. Once at the bar, the bartender was super friendly and welcoming. She explained all of the different beers. I got the "MAGA Tears" IPA and my husband got the "Dark Brandon"/"Hope" stout. Both were very delicious. We ended up getting a 4 pack of the "MAGA Tears" because it was so yummy and because we wanted to have it for election night! The space was cozy, clean, and welcoming. It is differently a great spot to go work, meet new people, or catch-up with friends. We will definitely plan to return next time we are in town...Hopefully with a President Harris! read more

See all

A great brewery on the East Side! Parking is simple and there is both indoor and outdoor seating available. I recommend taking some time to view the business's timeline that is stretched across the counters and tabletops as there is a lot packed in. A recent time that I came in and sat outside, the staff came out to offer bug spray, which I thought was such a friendly and helpful touch. There is live music at times, and it's great to see the community gathering together here. Almost needless to say, the beers are great. I'm a red ale fan but have tried a couple others (sometimes just choosing by the funny and interesting names!) and have enjoyed each one. read more

This place is crap. Save your money and go elsewhere. Crazy food, crazy service and really bad ambiance.

Terrible place beer isn't great. Service was slow. I won't be back. Take a hard pass on going in there.

Minocqua beer tastes like urine. Horrible smell, bitter acid taste just like urine. I wouldn't serve,it to my worst enemy.

This brewery prioritizes woke politics over brewing decent beer. Weak, flavorless swill from virtue-signaling hacks who care more about signaling than quality. Avoid. read more

Their beer sucks. I would rather drink Bud Light than their awful beer. Food sucks. Go somewhere else.

Would not recommend. Literally anywhere in WI is better than this establishment. Do not waste your time. Piss poor service and mediocre beer. If I could rate it a zero I would. read more
