Milwaukee Brewing & Distilling Company (Craft Beer & Brewery in Milwaukee WI)

Milwaukee Brewing & Distilling Company blasts its way onto the city’s craft scene with the gusto of a brass band at a funeral. Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Bay View taproom is a bright, unpretentious room where you can sample a line‑up that feels less like a catalogue and more like a conversation between old‑school brewers and mischievous mad scientists.

The roster includes the 19th Tea—a crisp, summer‑ready brew that whispers of tea leaves without shouting—and the Outboard Cream Ale, which is bold enough to make a grown‑up smile. Then there’s the O‑Gii Imperial Wit, a daring Asian‑inspired wit that walks the tightrope between citrusy zest and exotic spice. Collaborations with local roasted‑tea artisans prove the team isn’t afraid to mix the familiar with the unexpected (the founders once tried brewing a tea‑infused stout that never left the lab). Add the seasonal Sasquatch pumpkin‑spice beer for those who enjoy a little myth with their malt.

Tours are a treat: unlimited half‑pours, a behind‑the‑scenes look at the machinery, and a sprawling tap list that showcases the brewery’s relentless curiosity and craftsmanship.
