I understand that Laber Day weekend is busy time in Minocqua,but is it time for rude service?We came to Minocqua Brewing Co. on 9/1 at around 5:30 we were told that the wait would be aprox. 30 min. We ordered some beer's(which were poor at best)after 45 min we asked again about our table ,the girl said that we must have heared her wrong and that the wait was 60min. She then said calm down!Well I won't wait 60 min.for bad beer and poor service,and I will not CALM DOWN!!!!!!!!!

We Visited the Boulder Junction area a few weeks back for Musky Days, But we stayed in Minocqua. We were there for 4 nights and Found this Fantastic Place not far from our hotel. Brews were superb and the Bartenders and Waitress staff was among the friendliest people we had the pleasure of meeting in this part of the country. We don't get to this area often but I certainly would return to this establishment if I should visit Minocqua again!!!

We are in restaurant management, and so we understand what restaurant workers go through. We were very impressed with how nice the staff was, and how happy they seemed to be - laughing, joking with each other and the customers. In talking with our bartender, we found out that she is the general manager, so we were surprised to see her behind the bar in a bartender position. She was funny and polite, and answered all of our questions. We will definitely be back!

The wild rice lager and the pale ale, are wonderful. What a nice old building with a great view of the lake. The staff is fun to be around. We wished we had more time to spend there.

I was at this brewery about three years ago and I thought that they had some of the best beers in the United States,(and a G.A.B.F. gold to prove it.)I brought friends in on Aug 11th 2001 and WHAT a change! The bar service sucked (to be kind) And the beer was just plain bad.Little or no head.off flavors,and what I feel was really poorly brewed beer. When we complained the bartender said we must not know "real beer".Get real!!If you think you can get by with bad beer,think again,and if you think service like we received is OK,Think again!

If you are going to charge over $4.oo for a pint, the beer had better be special, yours is not! The Co2 levels were off,as were the flavors.Your service was a joke!Its places like this that give the whole micro brewery world look bad.

This place must be about to close down,they had only 3 beers on tap.When I asked about ther award winning wild rice lager the bartender said they dont make it anymore!The place just lacked fun.The employees sat at the end of the bar and talked to themselves and forgot about the three of us sitting at the bar,I had to walk over and ask for another round.If you don't want people to stop in put up the closed sign,and if the bartender wants her tips....look up the meaning of customer service!

Had the porter and the seasonal Irish Stout. Both were very good. The stout was nitrogen dispensed and heavier bodied than some stouts, which I liked. The porter had some nice chocolate tones, smooth full body and a nice finish. Both were served too cold which I found out comes from only one storage area so all the beers are served at the same temperature. Food was OK, not great but the service was outstanding. Our waitress really knew about the beer and offer some good suggestions.

We tried the Stout and found it to be very good. The bartender was very friendly and made the visit enjoyable. I am sure this place will be around for many years to come. Great location on the lake and the atmoshpere was pleasant. A must stop if you are traveling to the Northwoods.

This is a nice addition to the northwoods beer scene (led by the Boulder Beer Bar). I only had the pale ale, which was very good. The selection was a bit thin, and the atmosphere was muddled. (Banners of the Badgers, Packers, Bears, Vikings and NASCAR? Come on--pick a theme.) In spite of this, a good start for a decent brewpub.

A very cool place!! Try the pale ale; Brewer Rick Mayer must really love hops and his P.A. is a hopheads dream come true.

This 1927 building on the island of Minocqua is a great place to drink a beer! It's also the first brewpub that I have seen that lets folks walk into the brewery and talk to the brewer which is neat for the homebrewer & beer lover!
