  Great cute little spot, needs to get a following though,  it was pretty empty. Husband and his friend didn't love the beer though...

  Stopped in for the very first time last night with my wife. The beer was fantastic! Didn't have a real food menu so if your hungry make other plans. I went for the beer so it didn't bother me none. The bartender was good but for a business such as this I would have expected more of a brand ambassador as opposed to just an ordinary bartender.

  I took a trip to Kenosha, Wisconsin and while there I stopped by this cozy storefront brewery.  I fell in love with the place and also their Simmons Island Imperial Blonde. Rustic Brewing Company is a truly unique experience, right in the heart of downtown Kenosha. And Kenosha, I can assure you I will return again just for Rustic Road Brewing Company.
  
  Rustic Road Brewing Company is a great storefront brewery in downtown Kenosha. And all of RRBC's draft beers are made on site, and about three feet from their bar. You might even catch them brewing their beer while drinking their delicious suds. During my trip I got to see the brewmaster filling their kegs with their brew. As I mentioned above, I fell in love with their Simmons Island Imperial Blonde. A great slightly sweet, smooth American blonde ale, amped up with a local honey from West Bend, Wisconsin. And with an 8.8% ABV this mellow beer packs a punch. So good! I want one right now! They offer snifters, bombers and growlers of their delicious beer. I definitely took a bomber of the Imperial Blonde home. The Metra Union Pacific North train line stops in Kenosha, it is the last stop on the line. And the Kenosha stop is only a few short blocks away from RRBC, so consider a day trip like I did.
  
  See you soon Kenosha, see you sooner Rustic Road Brewing Company!

  I was very excited when Rustic Road opened a few months back.  The Southern Wisconsin area has been dying to have a place like this open up.  They have a seasonal beer that they rotate on a pretty regular basis.  Currently they have a Hazelnut beer on tap which is a good break away from the norms.  
  
  I also really like that as they were building this place they did not cut any corners in quality of building the bar either.  It's a small brewery and bar however the staff is great and the beverages are top notch.  They also now are serving Tenuta's Pizzas which are tasty.

  We lived in the Kenosha area during the early days of our marriage, so we try to get back for a visit once or twice a year, and have been impressed by the redevelopment of the Harborpark/downtown area.  Still a work in progress to be sure, but it's light years beyond what it was in the early 00's.  After this most recent visit, we wish we could move back, and Rustic Road is a big part of the reason why!
  
  The space is small and intimate, and all of the brewing equipment is right up front in the window, which is a great idea & really drives home the point that everything is made right there on site.  It must be a lot of fun to walk or bike past and get to watch the brewmaster at work.
  
  The KPA (Kenosha Pale Ale) is a "must try" if you're a hop-head like me, a nice smooth IPA style beer with just enough bitterness.  My wife, who is not a beer drinker, had their September seasonal brew, Hazelnut Harvest, and loved it.  It had a hint of sweetness, without being sweet...it's hard to describe, but after she let me try a sip of it, I kept sneaking more because it was that good (sorry, Honey. :)  The seasonals will change every month or so, and we were tipped off that the next one on deck is a Pumpkin Porter...yum!.  After we finished our pints we also sampled the Blonde and the Amber, both of which were just as good.  You can tell that they've taken care to get the beer just right, and the beers are surprisingly inexpensive for the quality.
  
  The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the brews, and took great care of us.  We got a chance to catch up with the owner, Greg (who is a childhood friend of mine, I should add by way of disclaimer) so if he's around when you're there, let him know which brew is your fave.  We thoroughly enjoyed our time at RRBC, and will definitely be back!

  Just what Kenosha needed! Love the beers on tap there, Accomodation Amber is my favorite. I love that they incorporate Kenosha area history and it definitely has a proud Wisconsin vibe going on. It smells roasty and intriguing on days that they brew right there in front of the window where everyone can watch them make small artisan batches of delicious brews. Happy Hour specials are always good,  $.50 off pints and $2 off growlers, can't complain there! Really comfortable and neat little spot, you will have a great time here. Try the beer tasting flight to find your favorite!
