Don't forget your I.D.
Yes, beer comes in cans and bottles and you can buy it at liquor stores, the supermarket and even the gas station — you’re in Wisconsin! But some smaller craft breweries aren’t set up to distribute that way. The good news is these folks are still working to get your favorite beers (and even that brew you haven’t discovered yet) to you — in cans but also crowlers, growlers, howlers, bomber bottles and even kegs. Some also sell goodies from their taproom food menus. Check out the options below. Is your favorite area craft brewery missing from this list? Let us know by emailing lindaf@isthmus.com.
