Visited: June 29, 2002

Opened: 1995

Annual Production: 1,000 bbl

Formerly located in Denmark WI, Green Bay Brewing moved to downtown Green Bay's "Brewery District" in 1999. More to the point, they're just three blocks from my old house, and I've downed quite a few enjoyable pints there!

Beer List

Barley Wine 2001

Barley Wine-Style Ale
- Date: November 23, 2001 (#4003)
  
  Package: draught
  
  Place: at the brewery
  
  Score: 16½ points
  
  Overall Impression
  Reddish, hazy, moderate carbonation and head. Blast of caramel malt aroma followed by a BLAST of spicy hops. Big body, richly malty, big hop flavor and bitterness. Fairly oaky, but not as oaky as the Marzenbier. Mildly warming. What will it taste like in 2002?

Framboise

Garden (Fruit Wheat) Beer

Date: June 29, 2002 (#4360)

Package: draught

Place: at the brewery

Score: 16 points

Overall Impression
Bright deep red, massive dense pinkish head. Intense perfumey raspberry aroma. Light-medium body, creamy-yet-fizzy, surprisingly mild raspberry flavor on a big malty background with a nice dose of noble hops. Despite the name, there's no "Belgian" character here - more like a good German lager with a shot of fruit.

Overall Impression
Bright amber. Thick head. Rich grainy malt aroma with some DMS. Real chewy, hugely malty, with a nice touch of alcohol. Mildly sweet richly malty finish.
