This winter, we are raising a glass to one of Wisconsin’s most beloved rituals: Deer Camp.

The late nights. The stories that get bigger every year. The brandy bottle that somehow empties faster than expected. It is the culture and camaraderie that make drinking in Wisconsin feel unlike anywhere else in the world.

About the Beer

Deer Camp: Old Fashioned Ale arrives at 4.6 percent ABV and 14 IBUs and it is built on Wisconsin-grown malt and hops. The beer features notes of orange peel and cinnamon while cherry purée brings a ruby color. Fermentation is finished with vanilla bean and Blackberry Brandy soaked wood chips from Wollersheim. The result is an ale with soft berry depth, light spice, and the unmistakable character of a Brandy Old Fashioned. It is approachable, nostalgic, and unmistakably Wisconsin.

Punch Card Details

A Deer Camp punch card will be available at both establishments beginning December 11.

You will receive a punch for ordering:

To enter the drawing, collect one punch from each location and drop your completed card in either drop box.
