Potosi Brewing Company

While we were on vacation in Wisconsin we went out of our way to go to this brewery as we heard great things about it.  We ordered a flight of the beers they had on tap and I really liked what they had to offer.  The museum is really impressive with a lot of vintage beer memorabilia.

I had checked out the menu online and was hoping for a half salami & cheese sandwich with a cup of beer cheese soup. Strike one was that it turned out to be about 90 degrees that day. I still would have gone for the cheese soup, however we were traveling with our dog so we hung out in the beer garden and learned that you can't order off the restaurant menu outside. They did have a grill set up, offering chicken, burgers, sausages and pork chops.
Eventually we ordered a pork chop sandwich topped with caramelized onions, which was much better than I expected, and a good value at $6 with a bag of chips.
Even if we had been able to order off the restaurant menu, we learned that they recently took the salami sandwich off the menu.
First I tried the Good Old Potosi brew. Not quite my thing. Next I ordered an IPA and it was a great beer, but when I ordered a second one later, Snake Hollow IPA, it was a totally different beer, so I'm not quite sure what the first beer was. Delicious mystery beer, for sure.
The museum on site is worth the $5 price, especially since you get a free small beer with your admission. TONS of Wisconsin beer history, and then some.

"A long time ago, in a brewery far far away they brewed an IPA ..."

They brew a lot of other things too, all of which taste mighty fine. Belgian Trippel, IPA, and a Czech Pilsner. Mmm mmm.

Potosi brewing is both a brewing museum that covers many of the breweries that made Wisconsin beer history as well as a nice restaurant. They make an especially good pretzel. We also enoyed a pulled pork quesadilla - sounds weird but it tasted good.

Do you remember Rahrs?, Adler Brau? People's? You will after you visit here.

And don't go away empty handed, they brewed more for you to take with you.
