Set out Saturday for a short Wisconsin brewery trek… as the saying goes… saved the best for last!!! Amery? Wow!!….just…WOW!!! I was skeptical as I made my way down the woodsy road…. then excitement kept growing!! I parked and headed to the backyard(?) arriving to a patio full of people! Albeit beautiful and welcoming, I made my way inside. I had a seat at a standard height table and Maverick greeted me and we quickly began discussing all the options so I could build a flight!! After I ordered I started randomly spewing brewery experiences beer goodness to the two beertenders. The more I said, the more beertender Destiny said… Wait. Hold up. Did you just say you’re the Brewer? Well HELLO there!! So I of course had to run by her the worst beer I’ve ever had so I asked “hey do you want to hear something offensive?” She replied “YASSS!!” We laughed and I told her about the offensive beer I’d had where a brewer took three good styles and made one awful beer! Which led to more discussing and styles exist for a reason…. With the assist of Maverick I built a flight of: Amber, Mango Slush, Sour Red Gin & Oatmeal Stout. Let me tell you… this Amber is HANDS DOWN the BEST Amber I have ever had. A beer that should be the bar which all others should be held to!! There was a Red Kolsch on the tap list but I asked Maverick “is it more red or more kolsch?” Maverick confidently replied “more red” so I opted to skip the beer. One of Maverick’s current go-to’s is the Sour Red Gin so that’s how I opted to add that one. Amery Ale Works beer isn’t good…I don’t say this lightly but it is SO DELICIOUS!!! Can you believe Destiny’s brew house is the little kitchen looking area off to the side of the bar? She doesn’t brew in a big barrels producing tank… Destiny brews 50 gallon batches!! I don’t know if that’s her secret/special power that she’s able to get such a perfect beer? Whatever it is, it’s working for her, which works for us, the customers!! Bonus, Amery Ale Works is roughly an hour from the Twin Cities so… just try and keep me away!! Amery Ale Works for being my 365th visited brewery you in no way disappointed…dare I say…. you raised the bar?! You flow beautifully in to my hard & fast brewery rule: no matter how good or bad the beer is, 90% of why I come back is because of how cool/fab the employees are. Brewery Destiny was a wealth of knowledge, an outstanding brewer and just a really cool and vibing human. The tap room was comfortable, spacious & well lit. Unfortunately my flight filled me up so I wasn’t able to dig in to any of the food offerings or the absolutely delectable sounding desserts!! I will be back…back w a bigger appetite!! What a pleasant surprise when I left, there was live music on the patio! Amery Ale Works is worth the driver, wherever you are coming from! Thank you Destiny for your delicious beers and fun, charismatic personality, looking forward to our next encounter. Cheers!

Beers were ok…a little out of the way, but atmosphere was cool

Cozy indoor area in the basement of a barn. Warm and welcoming on an afternoon in early February. Great service and some good beer. Can’t wait to go back to the outdoor area and bar when it warms up!

Beautiful little barn that has been converted into a restaurant on the lower level with a large outdoor patio. In the summer and fall months it’s dog friendly and there are large heaters and a fire pit for chilly nights. The staff are friendly and helpful. The hard cider made from the local orchard is delish!

First time here, went for a meeting. Our waitress was very nice and wasn’t at all pushy or irritated with us taking up a table for hours! Ordered the special salad and it was delicious!! Didn’t order anything fancy to drink, just water. They did have a water jug outside that we could fill out cups as needed. Atmosphere was absolutely incredible! Can’t wait to return again!

Wonderful place to go. Rural spot and very quiet, almost too quiet with no music. Great atmosphere. Pizza was great. The beer choices were a little slim for me. Was hop g for a bit more crispier beer than a dark ale, but was excellent nonetheless. Will totally go back. Would like to see some live music there.

Great place for family and friends to meet. We were a party of six and had beers (lots of choices) and a variety of foods. Pizzas, pretzels, hot dog, and nacho grande. The setting is beautiful with lots of outdoor tables, corn hole games, firepit, and very peaceful. The inside is clean as can be, but we chose outdoors because it was so nice out. The food was ok, nothing special, but we were there for our company and good conversation time. Our waitress was very nice. It isn’t very well advertised, so use your Google maps and go check out this place that is worth the visit. I have attached photos so that you can see how pretty it is. Go enjoy an afternoon or evening here.

We love Amery Ale Works!!! The pizza and drinks are fantastic! Casual seating inside or out. Corn hole boards are available, and fire pits add to the unique atmosphere. Side by side friendly as well.

These guys are awesome! Was able to schedule a birthday party for my husband. Everything was perfect – the food, the drinks, the staff. They even had a band playing later that night. Highly recommend if you’re ever in the area.

Whatta spot! Not hard to find, but rural. We didn’t eat but the pretzel bites from someone nearby sounded good! Highly recommend the drive out there – take your convertible or motorcycle – Enjoy!
