With the craft beer industry really taking off as it has been, keeping this roadtrip guide to the breweries of Wisconsin is no simple task. Since the publishing of the first edition of Wisconsin’s Best Beer Guide a number of breweries have either gone out of business or changed names/owners. But more importantly a whole bunch of new Wisconsin breweries have opened throughout the state, filling in gaps in “beer coverage.” For this, I give you the new and improved and fully updated Wisconsin’s Best Beer Guide, 4th Edition. The first had just over 70 breweries, the second, 90-plus; the third, 135; this updated Wisconsin beer guide has hit 200 breweries!.

And like its predecessors, Wisconsin’s Best Beer Guide still has the special offers corresponding to passport-style signatures you can get in your book when you visit each brewery. And as before, most of these offers are for FREE BEER!
Listen to Kevin speak with Kitty Dunn of 105.5 Triple M about Beercations and the latest edition of Wisconsin’s Best Beer Guide.
Many more craft beer bars, restaurants and beer-related attractions have been added as well.
Inside Wisconsin’s Best Beer Guide you will find:
- Listings for all breweries and brewpubs from the big-time MillerCoors in Milwaukee all the way down to a nanobrewery making 12 precious barrels per year.
- Brewery listings include directions, brewery info, the story of the place, food options, and more
- Special Offers, often for free beer or other discounts at most breweries – just get your book signed in back!
- Stumbling Distance: 2 or 3 great beer bars, fish fries, cheese shops, attractions, etc. nearby that you shouldn’t miss if you’ve made the trip
- Listings for major beer festivals
- Several museums and historic tours
- Breweries reachable by bike trail, bus tour, or brew cruise
- A history of beer in Wisconsin
- Lots of little facts and explanations about beer, how it’s made, and even how to drink it (as if you didn’t know already)
Suitable for the beer curious or beer snobs alike, Wisconsin’s Best Beer Guide leads you on a pils-grimage to find all the Wisconsin-made beer in its natural habitat.

Do you know if the Pioneer Haus at UW – Platteville is still brewing? Thanks!
I believe so, but I’ll get someone to confirm that!

Friend in the military came to Wisconsin for training appx 3 years ago. Had dinner and a microbrew he loved. Thought it was called blue moose. Any idea how to find it and where we can get it to surprise him when he returns from Afganistan?

Ooh, fun! A mystery and a sweet gesture with beer! Well, let’s start with these questions… Any idea where dinner was? Was it on tap or bottled?

I just checked at our local Bookland in Neenah for this book and the clerk told me she couldn’t order it. Darn. I like to shop local because I own a small shop around the corner from there. Can you help?
Hi Marie,
That’s interesting. Are they affiliated with Book World? I know that Book World corporate office can’t reach an agreement on terms with Partners Book Distributor (my publisher in Michigan). I have one copy left here at home. I guess I could sell that to you! Truth is I am updating it for a third edition which may be out before the Holidays. Let me know what you want to do: revtravel @ yahoo . com
Cheers,
Kevin
Looking forward to your update to this book. Any idea as to when you expect it to be out?
Our best estimate at this point is early November. Mostly it’s ready but there is still some editing and then the line at the printer. Definitely in time for the holiday season!
Just ordered mine. 🙂
The my Aunt, Uncle, my wife and I pick a zone every year and make a long weekend of doing beer tours. Last year we did Zone 1. This year we did Zone 2. The updated book will help for the next zone.
Cheers!
If you stop in at Appleton Map Company before you go to the Stone Cellar they may have a copy or two. Kill two birds with one stone.
