We fell in love with Wausau when we first moved here from Austin in 2006. Wausau possesses such a perfect vin diagram of natural beauty, seasons, friendly people, affordability, community, outdoor activities, the arts, and its small but perfect urban size...and the areas in which it lacked a tad bit of gusto seemed to be brimming with potential. Life took us on a few side journeys including a brief return to Austin. But, we continued to hold dreams and plans of someday opening a brewpub. Ideas had been simmering on the back burner for years...and it was suddenly clear. Wausau! When we moved back to Wausau in 2015, the hunt for the brewpub's home began...
We envisioned a warm, inviting, art-filled community gathering space that has the flexibility to host large and small events and live music...indoors and out. And forever at the core was sharing a tasty, carefully crafted beverage to share with a friend over fun experiences and conversations of life. We hoped for budding foodie entrepreneurs in food trucks to serve up their bites to our beverage sippers. Coffee (and, eventually, craft cocktails!) joined the business plan fray for beverage joy for everyone all day. We hoped to grow friendships with a broad array of regional musicians. We hoped folks would find our space useful and happy for their larger gatherings and events. We hoped to create a highly memorable full-sensory experience that would become a homey third space for the Wausau community and for curious travelers stopping over for all the year-round excitement Wausau has to offer...and drink tasty drinks together while doing it! We want to celebrate why Wausau is so fabulous! Join us!
