Welcome!

Layman Brewing, Brew City’s Dive Brewery, 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 neighborhood atmosphere.

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

Tractorbrau – Farmer’s Cream Ale

A hazy, thirst quenching farmer’s ale. Oats, corn, pilsner malt, and hallertau hops make this beer perfect for hoeing a row, or rewarding yourself for a job well done. 4.5% ABV

Marz Attacks – Oktoberfest

A Layman Brewing first. We finally made a proper Oktoberfest. Malty and sweet with notes of bread and honey. Prost! 5.8% ABV

Not Malort – American Bitter Brown

Notes of brown sugar, pronounced minerality from molasses, & noticeable bitterness from Cascade hops. 4% ABV

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 

Dolly – Belgian Blonde

A smooth body. Plenty of sugary sweetness. A touch of coriander makes this blonde just a little bit of twang.  5.4% 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!
