We can't wait for Saturday at 1pm for the bike ride between Hop Haus Fitchburg and Working Draft Beer Company ๐บ ๐ฒ
Riders will leave each brewery at 1pm and ride the Cannonball path heading towards the other brewery. We'll then hang out for an hour or so, drink some ๐บ and eat some ๐ฅช, then head back to home base around 3pm on the Southwest Commuter Path.

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 โpilotโ 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.
