Earlier this month we were visited by Mr. , Jesse Brookstein, to brew our third landjaeger/German-inspired collab beer. And it’s on tap now!

We made Its Light And Helles Hot, a smoked Helles Bock. Smokey brown sugar notes dominate the flavor profile. Smooth yet crisp, light yet packs a little punch. Man, this one turned out nice and pairs amazing with grilled goodies.

And Madison peeps, keep an eye out at The Wedge , Muskellounge and Sporting Club and BarleyPop Tap and Shop for this beer.

We got another tasty release you’ll want to HOP on in for today. But you’ll have to voyage in to find out what it’s all about.

The Lake Shore Dance grill out is postponed until July 14th. You can’t do yard work today so join us in the taproom. We’ll have the Brewers on the big screen at 12:35pm for ya and you can enjoy the taproom until 9pm tonight! Closed Memorial Day.

Enjoy whiskey, Juleps, Manhattans, and enter our raffle for a chance to win gear from D&S Bait Shop. The Oxbow will be open for extra seating and viewing—come hungry! Don’t miss out! 🐎 🥃 🐎

Back in early March the Musky, Mint Mark, and Robin Room team went down to the Woodford Reserve Distillery to blend and pick our very own barrel of Bourbon. We tried 6 different barrels that all had their unique qualities, but in the end we found 2 that blended just right for sipping and cocktails. We are excited to announce that we will be releasing this private barrel for our Kentucky Derby Party on Saturday, May 4th from 2-6 PM. We will be sipping whiskey, Juleps, Manhattans, and raffling off a brand new fishing rod, net, and hat from our buddies at D&S Bait Shop. We will also be selling our exclusive whiskey that day, but you will also be able to find it for sale soon at Cork ‘n Bottle. Mark your calendars now and plan to celebrate this occasion with us! 🐎 🥃 🐎
