Taproom Renovation complete! Schnitz & Giggles beer release at Wishful Acres Farm & Brewery!

Schnitz & Giggles is BACK on tap starting this weekend!!!  This is a super mild, very easy drinking German Kolsch style of beer.  It was extremely popular when we brewed it last year, and we've had many requests to bring it back.  Here it is!   Our taproom & tap beer system have received a major upgrade!  We've been working on this project for a few months, and it's now finished!  Check out the pictures below. Wishful Acres Farm & Brewery - taproom open Fridays 4-9, Saturdays 1-8, Sundays 1-5.   Tap Room Bar at our Brewery In our Tap Room this weekend, open Fridays 4-9 pm, Saturdays 1-8 pm, and Sundays 1-5 pm, we will be pouring fresh from our taps: Schnitz & Giggles - German Kolsch style Peach Mango Ale - fruit beer Jalapeno Ale - aged with fresh jalapeno peppers Cherry Wheat - fruit beer Barleywine - high ABV beer Coffee Bean Stout - Dark stout aged with coffee beans Leia's IPA - citrus-hops, not overly bitter for an IPA!

This German Kolsch style of beer is mild-flavored & delicious! Brewed with all-Wisconsin malts, all-German hops, and a German yeast strain! Very mild, not hoppy, not bitter, incredibly smooth & easy drinking. 4.5% ABV, 18 IBU. Stop out for a glass or two, and take some home in a growler fill! CHEERS!!! Tap System Upgrade! We just unveiled our brand-new draft tap system!  Here is a picture of our new 12-head system, along with our new hand-made tap handles!  We make the handles ourselves, and we did the tap system upgrade ourselves over the past couple of months. We're super happy with how it turned out!  We've moved from 8 taps up to 12 - so we can have an additional 4 beers on tap each week! Taproom Renovation With our new tap system upgrade, we had to move our taproom around!  A couple of months ago, you may have seen our pictures on Facebook as we busted through a wall in our taproom. That wall now features an alcove about 1.5 feet deep, with our tap system sitting inside. This way, we were able to install the tap system directly onto the opposite wall of our walk-in cooler.  This will make our lives so much easier as we're pouring your beers!   With the tap system now on the opposite side of our taproom, we had to flip our bar around! Yes, our bar now sits on the opposite wall.  With our old serving tank gone, we had a lot more room to spread our tables & chairs out - it's a nice upgrade, and we hope you like it too!
