Wisconsinites know their breweries, and if you head up north you’ll find a brewery unlike any other, the Minocqua Brewing Company.
Purchased by Kirk Bangstad in 2016, MBC has been growing rapidly ever since. When the company sold their original brewpub, they opened up in an old Texaco station, creating a unique venue for their unique products.
They also opened a taproom in Madison, allowing those visitors farther south an opportunity to try their brews on tap. While beer is their main focus, they also have wine and non-alcoholic options. Their Progressive Beer line includes a sour, IPAs, a stout and more. Their Choice Wine line (in conjunction with Equality Vines out of California) includes a Rosé of Pinot Noir, a Sauvignon Blanc and a Pinot Noir. They also offer their line of Woke Coffee, Rainbow Land Soda and Nope Sparkling Water. If you’re looking to bring a piece of MCB home, they have a variety of wearables and other gifts such as coasters, posters and more.
