New Denmark Brewing Company

|
With adding a brewery to the winery/distillery, we are now a one stop shop and have something for everyone to enjoy. We try to keep things as local as we can when creating our products. Our whiskey grains come from Briess in Chilton, WI. Our beer grains will also be sourced from Briess.
We’re not the first to have a brewery in the Denmark area, though. In 1932, the Denmark Brewing Company was founded by John Jorgensen after the repeal of prohibition. It opened in 1934 at a location on Main Street in downtown Denmark. John Jorgensen served as President, and John Langraf, Raymond, Stark and Peter Stark were the brewmasters. They averaged about 15,000 barrels of beer per year, with labels like "Old Town Lager" and “20th Century Ale". The brewery had one bottling line, with about half of the beer being bottled, and the other half going out in kegs. In 1947, the Starks sold the company to Alvin Bardin, who also owned Eulberg Brothers Brewing Company in Portage, Wisconsin, and Indianapolis Brewing Company in Indianapolis. Later that year, the Denmark Brewing Company went out of business. We are fortunate to have several bottles, a beer bottle wood crate and a barrel from the brewery on display. Stop out and step into some history!
