Was here May/June 2011 with a few co-workers. Sat near the brewing kettles and wood/stone oven, so it was a little warm. There were a handful of beers available and I remember having an impy stout and a porter which were decent, but not spectacular. Not a bad joint considering that you are not going to find much that far outside the city.

Went here for dinner and brews. Big open place that is fairly clean. Service was mediocre at best. Decent selection of beers but nothing too amazing, although I really liked the Hopfenstange Pils. Food was pretty good, a few items not typical to brewpubs. Value seemed decent. This is a pretty good place, if you find yourself in the area it might be worth a stop.

Beers are kind of hit or miss and definitely on the lighter side of the palate, even for "big beers." At least there is some rotation seasonally. I’ve had great food here and not so great food. Service is generally good. Fairly unique feel.

Cool spot. High ceilings, brew equipment right in the middle of the building. High def TVs. 2-sided bar with a cool northwoods/German vibe. Growlers available. Flights available - 6 samples for $6.

Great big open bar with restaurant wrapped around and beer tanks in the middle. Comfortable. The food is solid and the Sunday brunch is really good. Beers are the house beers mixed with some macros for the masses. Nice atmosphere.

BrewPub ambiance. Good service. Decent selection of own brews. Sausage platter was better than Water Street.

Kind of a cheesy corporate feeling place with a big two level space and a large u-shaped bar. Brewing equipment dominates the center of the room. Friday fish fry was average, and regular menu looked uninspired. Beer was not bad, but overall just seems like an average place.

There’s nothing wrong with the atmosphere here but it’s not exactly the type of place a rocker like me would want to hang out. There was a wonderful bourbon barrel barley wine on tap. My sausage plate was good but not mind blowing. The server did his job. Worth stopping through.

I decided to stop in here because it was right off the interstate, and I was traveling between Madison and Milwaukee - honestly, though, even if I were making the trip again, I would probably not go back - the place was nice enough - large interior space, but it still feels homey inside - servers were semi-attentive and friendly - the food was mediocre at best (although I was in at lunch - maybe dinner is better?) - there were only 5 beers on tap at the time, so even though I bought a sampler that was supposed to come with 6 house-brewed beers, they had to give me 5 and slip a sample of Beamish Stout in there to even it out - lame - the beers were mostly dumbed-down session ales geared toward the beer-ignorant, upper-middle-class folks of Delafield - their board made it seem like they had some exciting new beers coming up soon (BA barleywine, batch 500), but on my visit, I was wishing for something interesting - meh.

Big building on top of a hill right off I-94 that I’d passed many times and never stopped in. Very spacious indoor with a nice collection of old beer signs and serving tins along with some old cans and bottles too. The food we had (cheese bread) and saw looked/tasted excellent, so another trip back for a meal will be in the works. There were enough decent beers mixed among mediocre choices from the brewpub and of course macros galore for those not into experimenting. There were plenty of TVs throughout both big and small screen so it would be a decent place to watch a game. There was smoking around the bar, but I really didn’t notice the smoke at all.
