Three more breweries in Wisconsin
Dane County in Wisconsin - the country that contains Madison, which tomorrow hosts the best beer festival in the world, The Great Taste of the Midwest - is getting three new brewpubs.
The Wisconsin State Journal has the details:
- In December, Great Dane Pub & Brewing Co. will open another location near Hilldale Shopping Center.
- Granite City Food & Brewery, a Minneapolis-based company, has 13 locations, all in the Midwest, and is building five more, including one at West Towne Mall. The company brews its beer a bit differently than most. It starts the process at a wort house in central Iowa, where malted barley is mashed and hops are added. The wort mixture is then shipped to the brew pubs, where yeast is added and fermentation begins.
- In Verona, Gray’s Brewing Co. - which has a production facility in Janesville - will open its first brewpub this fall to help mark its 150th anniversary.
