Historic Beer Brewing at Old World Wisconsin

Old World Wisconsin and the Museum of Beer and Brewing are partnering and bringing to life 19th-century brews. See the brewers use equipment and techniques from the late 1800s and heirloom hops and barley grown at Old World Wisconsin.

By reconstructing immigrant brewing processes we are illuminating important aspects of our state’s culture, industry and German heritage. Historically, breweries were located in nearly every small village in Wisconsin during the 19th century and were cultural focal points.

The brewing process will begin by 10 am and conclude by 5 pm. Today we will be brewing a specialty American style beer.
