South Shore Brewery is a regional craft brewery in Ashland, Wisconsin. It was founded in 1995 and owned by brewmaster Bo BĂ©langer. The brewery was the seventh licensed microbrewery in the state of Wisconsin, and became northern Wisconsin's first modern micro-brewery.[1] South Shore produces an assortment of beers, many of which are seasonal.
The brewery has a small production facility in a local brewpub, the Deepwater Grille, where its specialty and seasonal beers are produced, and all of the brewery's beverages are available on tap. A second location was opened in nearby Washburn, Wisconsin in 2016, that serves as the main production brewery, with a tasting room and retail outlet.[2]
As of 2016, South Shore beer is available for sale in 60 counties, in three states.[2]
The company's flagship beer is Nut Brown Ale, a medium-colored ale, with low bitterness, similar to an English Mild ale.[3]
In 2008, the brewery gained notability within the Local Food Movement when it began using locally produced barley, and regional hops.[4]
