Now on Tap:
Zest Case Scenario – IPA
Made with lemondrop hops and a touch of orange peel, this IPA is nice and hoppy with just the right amount of citrus. 4.3% ABV
Hillbilly Pilsner- Pilsner-ish
Mild bitterness, slightly sweet, notes of pilsner malt. If you like American light lagers, you might like this. 5.3% ABV
D’oh!-Pasbier
Hooray for happy accidents! Our classic Opasbier with lower alcohol. Pleasantly bitter prohibition-style ale. 3.7% ABV
Love and Peace – Extra Special Bitter
Don’t let the style’s name fool you. ESBs are sweet and malty with just enough hop bitterness for balance. Perfect for enjoying with the lads. Cheers! 4.5% AB
Goosey Juice – Rhubarb Sour
Tangy, with an earthy hint of rhubarb. Try it with a little strawberry simple syrup for a refreshing summer treat. 4.3% ABV
Calamity Jane – Stout
When you keg your mother’s favorite kind of beer on her birthday, you take it as a sign from the universe and name it after her. Light bodied with a pleasant burnt chocolate finish. 3.3% ABV

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!Google rating score: 4.7 of 5, based on 154 reviews
