BAILEYS HARBOR - When it comes to Door County`s newest craft brewery, Sway Brewing and Blending, the hop doesn`t fall too far from the plant.
Matt Sampson, the brewery`s founder and head brewer, not only ferments and serves beer from the location that was the original home of Door County Brewing but he honed his brewing skills at Hacienda Beer Co. Both share taproom and brewing space just down the road.
Broadly speaking, Sampson said he`ll brew a wide range of easy-drinking beers that pair well with Door County activities.

For Lake Effect`s last installment of the Tavern Tuesdays series, Rob Novak shares the lasting legacies of Milwaukee`s beer gardens and tied houses. He is the historic brewing experience coordinator at Old World Wisconsin.Novak starts by explaining the history of beer gardens: "We know that they started in Bavaria and the breweries there, they had these giant lagering caves. They lagered their beer over the summer. By the mid-1500s, they actually were not allowed to brew in the summer. ... So in order to make money in the summer, they decided that they would sell the beer that they have been lagering in their caves."...

After a rigorous judging process, three medals were awarded in each of 103 categories. The tables included classics like American lagers to porters and stouts all the way to unusual styles such as chili beers, gluten free beers and other “experimental” beers. This year, there were 10,542 entries in the competition, representing 2,493 breweries from 57 countries. Divide those by 226 highly-trained sensory judges… what a competition!...

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - The Dancing Goat Distillery, based in Cambridge, is bottling its first brandy as a Wisconsin exclusive that is available to buy now.The distillery said they sourced the brandy originally from California.

Ever wanted to drink like the Vikings did? In Egg Harbor, you kind of can. Mixed Meadia, a new branch of Hatch Distillery, is offering its first meadAllan Hyland, the face behind Mixed Meadia, has been a winemaker for 11 years, honing his craft around the Midwest before landing at Mixed Meadia. What he’s found, he said, is that regions that aren’t historically tied to wine – the way Napa and Bordeaux are, for example – have more room to experiment.
That type of breathing room, plus a facility that already uses honey in its beverage production, made Hatch Distillery the perfect setting to bring Door County’s first meadery to fruition...
