New Glarus Brewing Company

218 Hoesly Dr · New Glarus, WI

Why you should go…

The Hilltop brewery, built to look like a Bavarian village, is currently closed to the public, so the gift shop, tasting room and Beer Depot now sit on Hoesly Drive. From there you can take a free self-guided tour of the original Riverside brewery, and hard hat tours run on Fridays.

Good to know

General eat & drink guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Go early or go late

    The simplest way around a wait at a popular room is to sit down before the rush or after it.

  • Reservations open on a schedule

    Where bookings are taken, tables tend to be released a set number of days in advance, often at a fixed hour.

  • Menus move with the season

    Treat any dish you read about online as a maybe, not a promise, especially anything local and seasonal.

  • Ask what the place is known for

    Staff will point you at the thing worth ordering faster than any list will.
