Working Draft Beer Company Information

We love how craft beer brings people together and invites us to think about what we drink. We started Working Draft Beer Company to cultivate community, to celebrate the process of brewing and art, and to work draft by draft toward beers that delight. We love hops and aim to brew and pour lots of IPAs. Our hop love is vast, so well also brew up juciy Hazy IPAs, crushable Session IPAs, and hoppy takes on traditional styles, like West Coast IPAs with piney, resiny, dank, citrusy and just enough malt backbone to balance it all out. We love lagers. Classic German Lagers. You can really notice the skilled hand of a brewer by ordering the palest, simplest lager on the menu. We believe a crisp, golden pilsner, blooming with that distinctive aroma of a lager yeast, floral hops, and biscuit malt, is as satisfying and drool-inducing as a hopbombwhen made well.

Crowlers (100% recyclable 32-ounce aluminum cans filled on-demand at the tap) will also allow everyone, especially bike commuters, to enjoy our beer at home or on a picnic. Working Draft will operate in parallel a 7-barrel brewhouse, built by W.M. Sprinkman in Waukesha, WI, and a pilot 1-barrel brewery, built by Spike Brewing in Milwaukee, striking a balance between a top-notch production craft brewery and our home-brewing roots. The taproom is the heart of WDBC, where the brewhouse, the food, the beer, and the people converge. An open brewhouse amplifies the sense of freshness, locality, and ownership over what is being consumed. WDBC sponsors an Artist-in-Residence (AiRs) program, so area artists can find dedicated space to their craft in the taproom, whether thats a gallery space, a venue for acoustic music, or a backdrop for a poetry reading.
