Visited: December 31, 1999

Opened: 1995

Closed: 2008

Annual Production: 1,600 bbl

Angelic shut down their brewery in August 2005. Apparently Dean wanted to expand the brewery, and the restaurant manager wanted to expand the restaurant, and the restaurant won. This is a huge loss for the Wisconsin beer community.
