The Great Dane thrives on the far side of the Interstate
Sixteen years after the original Great Dane Pub and Brewery opened its doors downtown in the old Fess Hotel, the successful franchise has opened a branch east of Madison's isthmus. It joins newer iterations at Hilldale, in Fitchburg and Wausau, and even an outpost at the Dane County Regional Airport. The Dane-East has moved into the space formerly occupied by the Cloud 9 Grille and Jovian Taphaus.

The Great Dane Pub celebrates 20 years of craft brewing in Madison and beyond
When Rob LoBreglio fired up the kettles at the Dane Pub for the first time, the brewhouse had no glass, no exhaust system, and the paint on the walls was barely dry. "That was interesting," says the co-owner and brewmaster about launching the downtown Madison brewpub 20 years ago.

Beer Here: 20th Anniversary Ale from the Great Dane Pub
The Great Dane is marking two decades of craft beer with its new 20th Anniversary Ale, and one might say the idea for it has been fermenting for just as long. "We based it on the fun factor of trying to play off the number 20," says Rob LoBreglio, brewmaster and co-founder for the group of brewpubs. He and his team of brewers created a beer with 20 different malts, 20 different hops, 20 different yeasts and 20 different waters to mark this major milestone.

Engineered
Great Dane-Hilldale brewer Nate Zukas has created an American IPA especially meant to be served soft and mellow on a beer engine: It’s hand-pulled, so as it comes from the cask it is replaced with CO2 and no oxygen gets to the beer.
