Back in the fall of 2016, we here at Milwaukee Record joined forces with Company Brewing to brew a beer. The collaborative beer is a spiced and infused riff on the Riverwest brewery’s delicious Night Rye’d Porter, which helps raise funds for a deserving local organization through sales each autumn and winter. Naturally, we decided to call this re-do of Company’s prized porter the “Milwaukee Record Re-Porter.” We’re proud of the beer and, yes, we’re pretty happy with the name we came up with, too.
Anyway, when we first announced the beer—which returned to draft lines and store shelves for a fourth year last week!—back in 2016, we decided to pair this news about this awesomely-named seasonal brew with a massive list of the best beer names from every brewery in the state of Wisconsin. In the three years since that article, some in-state operations called it quits. However, we’re pleased to say there are more breweries in the great state of Wisconsin than ever before…meaning there are more zany, random, and downright awesome beer names being made here now than there have been at any other time in history.
If you’re seeking clever wordplay, pop culture references, cuss words, and downright awesome imagery, you need look no further than this new, improved, and updated list of the best beer names at close to 150 breweries in Wisconsin. Cheers!
