Mad Hatchet Brewing7.4
No feed was served outside of snacks. No biggie. They had about 12 taps with various beers that were all brewed on site. There were a couple of beers that were out, so probably 9 on tap. Good selection. The beer was average or slightly above. Service was delivered with a smile from the wife of the brewer/owner. Super nice and willing to give free samples. Talkative on a slow/lazy Tuesday afternoon. The owner showed up after a while with some honey, brewing a collaboration braggart. Talked to him about the SS chronical - ironic as I am in the market to add one to my home brewery. Hard to give feedback on the ambiance as it was a very light crowd (me and another guy). Very clean. Open and easy to see the brewing equipment, which I really like. Not big but ample. The pricing of the beer was right on spot with the area. Accessibility is rather easy: it is in a strip mall off a major thoroughfare in Shorewood. I could see where that might depend on the time of day. A nice place. I would go back for the service but the beer itself was average. Too many other local places to visit before revisiting. Enjoy.
