Foxtown Brewing (Craft Beer & Brewery in Mequon WI)

Foxtown Brewing in Mequon, Wisconsin, is a genuine time‑traveler’s pit stop. Housed in the former Opitz Zimmerman Brewery of the 1800s, it sits above two levels of lager caves that double as a living museum of brewing history. The tours are led by bartenders who actually know their malt from their hops, and they’ll whisk you through the cool, vaulted chambers where the beer matures in almost theatrical silence.

The taproom itself offers a solid line‑up: a hazy IPA that smells like a summer orchard, a crisp lager that could convince a skeptic it’s not just “just beer”, plus flight options for the indecisive. The Annex stages live music, while the menu swings between cheese curds that squeak like a delighted child and a fish fry that would make a seafood lover weep with joy. If you fancy a little exclusivity, the Mug Club hands out discounted pours, free tours and a few other perks (the sort of benefits that make you feel you’ve joined a secret society). Multiple seating zones mean you can sip your growler in a quiet corner or soak up the buzz in the lively main room – all under the same historic roof.
