Green County is home to two breweries. People often want to know which one to visit, and the answer is simple: both!
One is located in historic downtown Monroe in a building that has been home to a brewery since before Wisconsin became a state. The other is a state-of-the-art modern facility perched on a hilltop overlooking the village of New Glarus.
Both offer tours. Both offer tastes. Could it possibly get any better? |

Minhas Craft Brewery 1208 - 14th Ave. Monroe, WI 53566 608.325.3191 Minhas Craft Brewery is proud to exhibit Herb and Helen Haydock’s Beer Memorabilia Collection as part of the brewery tour experience. The exhibit is part of Minhas Craft Brewery Tour Center. The couple got their start when Herb purchased 8 beer glasses while stationed with the U.S. Air Force in Munich, Germany back in 1951. He didn’t know it at the time, but this small purchase would lead to us having the largest private collection in the world. Let us take you back in time with historical artifacts on display including: brewery lithographed pictures, Cooper tools, wooden keg and cases, steins, growlers, 1928 Chevy Truck, nascar cars, bar and beer lights, model brewery trucks, cars, trains and other brewery vehicles and much more. This collection has found the perfect home with the oldest brewery in Midwest and second oldest in the nation. Museum open: Mon – Fri 8am – 5 pm, Sat/Sun Noon - 5pm. Tours: Monday 11 am, Tuesday through Thursday 1 pm, Friday/Saturday/Sunday at 1 pm and 3 pm.
