108 W. 9th St., Marshfield, WI 54449 | 715-389-1868
Blue Heron BrewPub is one of two great restaurants located in the historic
Parkin Place building of Marshfield, WI. The brewpub is located on the main
floor, and West 14th, a fine dining establishment, is upstairs. Blue Heron’s
crafted brews are available in both restaurants. Our brewery is a 7 barrel
system that produces our flagship brands, Honey Blonde, Tiger’s Eye, and
Loch Ness Scotch Ale, along with many other seasonal and specialty brews.
Our taps are constantly rotating, so please look to our website to see what’s
new. So, grab your crew and have a brew at the Blue Heron.
Grapefruit IPA: ABV: 7.2%, O.G.: 15.6 P, IBU: 87. Over a 100 pounds of fresh Rubies
went into this brew to give it the aroma and taste that the name implies. Additions
of citrus varieties in both the kettle and in dry hop form accent this India Pale Ale. A
nice strong malt backbone holds up to the highly hopped and fruit addition making it
balanced and delicious.
Loch Ness Scotch Ale: ABV: 7.5%, O.G.: 17.8 P, IBU: 27. Our 90+ Schilling is a far
and away a wee heavy. Hop presence is kept low to allow the full richness of seven
different malts to shine through.
Parkin Pils: ABV: 4.7%, O.G.: 10.5 P, IBU: 36. Named after the former ice cream
dairy that the brewery now occupies, this German/ American style pilsner is one of
simplicity. Golden-straw in color, light on the tongue with a clean, crisp finish. This
brew is excellent on a hot, humid Wisconsin day.
Stranger in the Dark: ABV: 6.1, O.G. 16 P, IBU: 58. This is America’s way of doing
stout! More roasted barley and more hops, bigger and better. This black as night brew
has a very roasted, some coffee flavor, and a hop bite at the finish.
Special ReleaseS
French Oaked Possibly Wobbly (Barley Wine): : 9.5%, O.G.: 21.5 P, IBU:
85. A big and complex brew that has been aged for over a year (9 months on French
Oak). Raisin and dried fruit are it’s signature flavors and aromas.
Tapper’s Tripel: ABV: 9.0%, O.G.: 18.5 P, IBU: 27. An unfiltered and complex Belgianstyle
brew that features flavors and aromas of banana, candy sugar, and a tad bit of
orange peel..

Brady’s Brewhouse, conveniently located a half-hour east of the Twin Cities
in St. Croix County, Wisconsin, offers a memorable casual dining experience
with a spirited atmosphere specializing in hand crafted beer. Brady’s seven
barrel brewhouse, located onsite and on display in the back of the restaurant,
produces a variety of beer styles available on tap year-round. The bar
features nine house brews, with five American ales ranging from straw gold
to jet black, two seasonal taps, a strong ale tap and a weekly small batch
special tap. One seasonal tap pours rotating American ales and the other
features classic German beer styles. This year we are kicking off a barrel
ageing program which will feature strong ales aged in toasted oak wine and
whisky casks, with cask aged beers to be released next year. The strong ale
tap currently pours our Midwest Monster Imperial IPA. The weekly specials
are our opportunity to test future recipes and introduce beers that defy
status-quo classification. Our full service bar also includes a spectacular wine
and cocktail menu as well as a substantial list of rotating guest taps. The open
scratch kitchen offers a diverse appetizer, lunch and dinner menu, all prepared
in front of your eyes by our talented chefs and kitchen staff on our wood-fired
grill and from our wood fired brick oven. Stop on in and let us entertain you
with our unique dining atmosphere and fresh craft beers brewed on-site!
Burgermeister Hefeweizen: 4.7% ABV, OG 12P, 14 IBU. Available as our one
of our spring seasonal offerings, this Hefeweissbier pours gold with a white fluffy
head. Banana esters and grain aromatics linger delicately over the glass. Red wheat
and Munich malts give this beer a smooth, lightly grainy mouthfeel. Refreshing and
effervescent, this subtle departure from the classic German Hefeweizen is designed
to welcome the balmy Midwest summer.
Drag Buster Brown Ale: 4.9% ABV, OG 12P, 22 IBU. Available as another of
our spring seasonal offerings, this American Brown Ale pours clear deep copperbrown
with an off-white head. Dark fruit aromas present themselves immediately
as essences of bread and burnt sugar emerge from the glass. Toasted barley and
caramel dominate the flavor followed by light hop-bitterness that balances the
semi-sweet finish.
Harvester Oatmeal Stout: 4.8% ABV, OG 14P, 18 IBU. Available year round, this
full bodied stout pours opaque black with a mocha tan head. Aromas of burnt sugar,

Kashmir Godzilla: 7.3 ABV 85 IBU 18.5 OG. The 2nd beer in our “Post Times” series.
Kashmir Godzilla is A BIG, BOLD, “West Coast” style IPA. brewed with copious additions of
American hops. We packed this ‘un full of Centennial, Palisades, Columbus and Cascade
Hops with 5 separate kettle charges. We finished the beast with Falconer’s Flight 7C’s
and Citra Aroma and Dry hops. The ‘Zilla will forcibly rip the enamel from your teeth…
and you’ll love every blessed second of it. You have our word.
Sunergos Coffee N Cream Porter: 7.9 ABV 28.3 IBU 15 OG. Sunergos: Greek;
def. A fellow worker; cooperation. Here at bbc, we’re in the business of making beer
and friends. We have these friends, see, and they are coffee roasters n the Louisville,
ky area. And, it turns out, they’re as crazy about coffee as we are about beer. So…
we cooperated on a beer. Sunergos is a porter, thru and thru. But we decided kick it
up a bit with some of our Friend’s Sunergos coffee and some lactose sugar to make
a coffee and cream porter. 5lbs. of Sunergos Guatemala Antigua coffee was added
into the mash tun to impart a light coffee feel to the beer. Then, we used our unique
cold infusion of Sunergos’ Espresso Roast to add complexity to the already beautiful
aroma. This one’s a knockout! When geeks and nerds like us get together… only good
things can happen!!! Cheers!
Altbier: 4.19 ABV 28.6 IBU 11 OG. A mild German style amber ale. Altbier means “old”
or traditional beer in German, referring to the way beer was brewed prior to the
