Belshire Brewing Company (Craft Beer & Brewery in Richfield WI)

Belshire Brewing Company in Richfield, Wisconsin, feels like a living scrapbook of the 70’s‑80’s block parties you used to hear about in old‑timer stories. The family‑run operation runs a modest 3.5‑barrel system, yet somehow produces a lineup that would make a seasoned brewer raise an appreciative brow. Their When In Doubt Milk Stout slides across the tongue with chocolate‑smooth confidence, while the Bridges of Vilas County Pilsner—crafted with Norwegian Kveik yeast—delivers a crisp bite that stands out among the usual craft‑pilsner crowd.

The taproom (which proudly allows you to bring your own food) offers Milwaukee pretzels for the snack‑averse, and a rotating roster that includes sour ales, seltzers, and an in‑house Octoberfest brewed fresh each year. Patrons can fill a growler, hand‑assemble a four‑pack, or simply settle in either indoors or out, enjoying the clean, unpretentious atmosphere.

All in all, Belshire provides the kind of home‑grown quality that makes you forget you ever cared about hype, while still feeling like you’ve discovered something genuinely special.
