Looking for an environmentally sustainable brewery with a variety of craft brews? Head out to Central Waters in Amherst for their flagship beers, seasonal styles, and barrel-aged beers. Sit among the fresh brewing aromas in the taproom or take a seat (weather permitting) next to a fire ring in their beer garden. With over 15 options to choose from, we've narrowed it down to three to try! 

Number 1 w/ Plain Background

Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Pecan Kringle Stout

Say hello to the delicious flavors of one of Wisconsin's well-known pastries in this famous barrel-aged stout. Sit back and enjoy this match made in heaven, aged for a full year in bourbon barrels.

Number 2 w/ Plain Background

Shine On Ale

In the mood for something a bit lighter? Shine On is an easy-drinking ale that is made from Wisconsin grown barley. Brewed to commemorate the switch over to solar power at Central Waters, Shine On is a year-round, go-to, malty and bright craft brew with a clean finish.

Number 3 w/ Plain Background

Rift IPA

More of a hops lover? Give the Rift a try. This crisp and refreshing brew is a take on the American IPA. Experience a delicious blend of five hops varieties including Amarillo, Cascade, Centennial, Citra, and Simcoe, brewed over a foundation of clean caramel malt.

Honorable Mention:
Hard Seltzer

This may not be a beer, but Central Waters' hard seltzers are just as worthy of a taste. Sip on one of these refreshing flavors including Thimbleberry Lemonade, Meyer Lemon & Key Lime, Cranberry & Tangelo, and Blueberry & White Peach.
