What if your favorite bar made your favorite beer?

Layman Brewing is a cozy WI corner bar offering quality traditional brews from our in-house nano-brewery, along with simple, tasty pub fare and a relaxed atmosphere.

Now on Tap:

Plume Sweep IPA

Full-bodied IPA brewed with coriander. Sweet & hop-forward but not bitter, with notes of grapefruit, melon, & pine sap. Slightly musky with a tangy hop aroma. Named in honor of the recently launched Europa Clipper mission. 6.5% ABV

Quern Biter

Brewed with barley, rye, wheat, corn, and oats, this raw ale evokes the grains a historical miller might sweep off his millstone (quern). Light, fresh, tasty, and deceptively strong, it’s a literal Miller’s Lyte, with a bite! 7.4% ABV

Amber Opasbier

Our signature prohibition-style ale Opasbier, but crossed with an Amber! Smooth & balanced, leaning slightly toward the bitter side, with a hint of caramel. 4.5% ABV

Fair Dinkum

Balanced and malty Australian pale mild. Australian for “pretty good stuff!” 4.2% ABV

Rollie Blows

Smooth & mildly sweet, with a full body. Boiled down & concentrated for extra flavor. Notes of milk chocolate, raisins, bread dough, & roasty grain. The OG “sweet stout.” Let this one warm up for best flavor. 4.9% ABV

Black Spiral Dance

A smooth & full-bodied Belgian Strong Dark, with a backbone of coffee & dark, stewed fruits, highlighted with notes of sweet spices & brown sugar. Enjoy every sip as it lulls you into the abyss. 11.65% ABV

  This is the place you make Framily...everyone is welcoming.  The food is awesome (I can't get enough of that ranch sauce).  Everyone gets to know your personality.

  Tried Layman on a whim. All I can say is what a fun place with great employees, beer, and food. We visited on a Thursday night. By the time we left we knew the owners, the bartender, and might have become fast friends with the other customers if there was time. A very welcoming atmosphere. Looking forward to going back.

  This is a hidden gem in Milwaukee. It’s honestly one of the best, if not the best burger in the city. The owners are super passionate about their business and providing excellent food and service. Their brewery tour is one of a kind. I’ve absolutely loved everything I’ve had here and the beer is absolutely fantastic!
