And the weather looks to be great, so it seems that the 3rd time will be the charm for this ride. Everyone on the ride with a Bike Benefits sticker on their helmet gets $1 off all pours.

Our Story

Working Draft Beer Company is a community-focused brewery and taproom located in Madison, Wisconsin. Just one block off W***y St., Working Draft works to bring families, friends, and neighbors together in an airy and welcoming setting to enjoy local craft beer and food - with a full house-made kitchen menu available right in our taproom Monday-Friday 5-9pm, Saturday 11am-9pm, and Sunday 12-6pm.

Our beers are brewed on either our 7-barrel brewhouse or our โ€œpilotโ€ 1-barrel system, striking a balance between a full-scale production brewery and our homebrewing roots. Our tap lineup features beers loaded with hop flavor and aroma, traditional lagers that are crisp and satisfying, limited barrel-aged specialties, and guest beers from our craft beer brethren throughout Wisconsin.

Our taproom is incredibly kid-friendly, though unfortunately we can't host our furry companions at this time. Stay tuned to our page for our latest tappings and events, and for those of you on the go, we sell the majority of our Working Draft beer to-go in 32oz can crowlers!

GF and gluten-sensitive beer and food options are always available at Working Draft Beer Co., and please check with your beertender if you have any sensitivities.
