The Brewery in Monroe has been owned over the last 160 years by some of the most prominent citizens of the Monroe, Wisconsin area. They were 1st or 2nd generation immigrants, tracing their origins from Switzerland, France, Britain, Germany and Denmark. In 2003, the Brewery started to make Beers for Ravinder Minhas for export to Alberta, Canada on a contract basis. This new arrangement increased the producton of the Brewery by 5 times, and by 2005, the beer exported to Alberta made up 85% of the Brewery’s total production.

We are proud to feature the beers of America’s most experienced craft brewer – Don Barkley. Don started making craft beer in 1978 at New Albion Brewery, America’s first new brewery since Prohibition. He went on to help found Mendocino Brewing Company, and during his 25 years there as Master Brewer Don became an icon, creating such legendary beers as Red Tail Ale and Eye of the Hawk Select Ale. The best beers are fresh beers – so we add a dose of nitrogen before filling and close with an oxygen scavenging bottle cap to prevent oxidation. We also use UV protectant glass to reduce the negative effects of light.
