About Duesterbeck's Brewing Company
Duesterbeck's Brewing Company is a family-owned brewery on a fifth-generation farm in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, near Delavan and Lake Geneva. Laura and Ben Johnson founded it in 2019 to restore the barns on land the Duesterbeck family has farmed for over 150 years.
The taproom is open year-round. In warmer months you can sit on the outdoor patio or in the Pig Barn pavilion. The Grainery gift shop is on the farm too.
Duesterbeck's has brewed over 60 different beers since opening. A few signature beers are always on tap, and the menu also has nonalcoholic drinks. There is a food menu, and food trucks are part of the outdoor setup.
Live music plays through the year, with trivia on Tuesdays, bingo on Wednesdays and euchre on Thursdays. Brewery tours can be reserved ahead.
