The Brewhouse
The Brewhouse
This is where the magic happens! During the Brewing Experience presented by the Cleary-Kumm Family, our brewers will take you through every step of the brewing process using ingredients grown just outside our modern Brewhouse designed with historic inspirations. Feel the heat from the kettle, smell the beer as it brews, and engage with beermakers producing authentic historic recipes right in front of you. Say cheers and enjoy samples of the beer produced in the Brewhouse, along with other brews. This experience is available as part of any general admission ticket at Old World Wisconsin.

From Grain to Glass
Experience Every Step of Wisconsin’s Brewing Tradition Firsthand
From large breweries to corner bars, big labels to modern microbrews, beermaking is a huge part of Wisconsin’s culture and heritage. The new Brewing Experience presented by the Cleary-Kumm Family taps into the state’s brewing past by creating immersive environments where you can see, smell, feel, and—of course—taste this history. You’ll get hands-on, see how beer is made, engage with beermakers and our brew crew, and relax with a few cold ones on your own.
In Big Beer Country, How Did Smaller Brewers Thrive?
Every Wisconsinite knows Pabst and Schlitz—but Wisconsin’s smaller breweries loomed large in the local scene. While Milwaukee’s brewers focused on national markets, mid-sized groups took a regional approach, offering unique tastes and flavors to guests.
