Established 2001. Once the home of five breweries, Manitowoc Wisconisn now
host just one such business: the Courthouse Pub. Opened in 2001, the Pub
resides in a historic replication of the Willinger Beer Haus (circa 1891) - one of
the earliest business in downtown Manitowoc. While we have a few standards
on tap at all times, Brewer Brent utilizes our four barrel system to produce a
variety of brews throughout the year. Our Wine Spectator Magazine awarded
wine list accompanies our microbrews, providing our guests with a variety
of beverages to enhance their dining experience. Take a look at our menu at
www.courthousepub.com.
Honeymoon Lager: ABV: 5.3. A mildly hopped beer with a soft, uplifting sweetness.
This beer was named in honor of the many couples who join us after being married in
the County Courthouse located across the street from the Pub. (See next listing.)
Alimony Ale: ABV: 5.6. For obvious reasons, this brew is a more bitter beer than our
Honeymoon Lager -- with an all too long finish!
Raspberry Wheat: ABV: 4.8. An American style wheat beer with a subtle hint of raspberry.
Root Beer: ABV: 0.0%. Our offering for those who want non-alcoholic beverage. Rich,
smooth and softly carbonated, built on pure cane sugar and triple filtered water.

4259 Mahoney Rd., McFarland, WI 53558 | 608-838-6797
Established 2000 We are a small orchard and cider house near McFarland,
WI. We planted our first antique cider cultivars in 1989. Cultivar: cultivated
variety, for example, Macintosh or Newtown Pippen. We started producing
real cider in 2009, although we’ve sold juice for over ten years. Our cider
is blended by selecting from over 200 unique antique cider apples in our
orchard. Our ciders offer you a unique symphony of apple, spice, and citrus
- from apples with high malic acid and tannin, blended with higher Brix
varieties from other orchards we manage, to provide enough sweetness and
sparkle to entice an American taste. Visit us to gain a first hand insight into
our orchard and cider house and how our apples become real cider.

Pooch: ABV:6.5%, O. G.:1.065, IBU: % Malic acid (0.3) & Tannin (0.13), BJCP Cider cat
27B “English Cider” Pooch is an exquisite blend of our antique apples featuring
sweeter Roxbury, Dabinett, and Westfield among several; enhanced with a breath
of sharps and bittersharps. That’s just enough acid to balance the sweetness with
carbonization to make your tongue sparkle. Pooch “Sounds like Hooch, but a Big
Bark Better!” Our logo features a Saint Bernard, a great rescue animal, fondly
romanticized; usually from a distance. Our Swiss ancestors taught us that St.
Bernard de Menthon founded a hospice and monastery around the year 1050. In
1291 Switzerland declared itself independent. About 1650, the first rescue dog was
employed. Saint Bernards did not carry brandy (a depressant) and the barrels with
rescue supplies were carried on their backs (because of the deep Alpine snow.) In
1897 Americans discovered “hoochinoo”, a drink of the Hutsnuwu Indians, a Tlingit
tribe. So, what does Pooch have to do with hooch? It tastes much better. ..and with
Saint Bernards? They’re cute. Naval aviators created another infamous phrase
involving Pooch, meaning to miss the deck of the aircraft carrier. We’d much rather
you drink our Pooch.
