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!
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.
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.
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.
