Ooga Brewing Company — Restaurant in Beaver Dam

Wow, what an embarrassing showing by the owners here. Posted hours are 12-6pm. We decided to come here over other breweries or businesses at 2:15, yet when we arrived the woman behind the bar said, and I kid you not, “Oh we’re in the process of closing. You can get some growlers if you want.” We were incredulous. Paying customers coming to try their beer, and we were told to get out instead being welcomed in to have a couple beers. This is what Ooga Brewing thinks of customers willing to spend money and try their creations. Apparently it is MUCH too difficult to pour a few pints because nobody else was in the place. Wouldn’t that be the EXACT reason to serve people willing to spend MONEY here??? I have been to 60 breweries in Wisconsin, and have never been told this by a business. Absolutely incredible. When I meet with my hundreds of members of my brewery club, I will be sure to tell them all about this mind blowing experience. Shame on...

These guys are the best. The staff is always super friendly. They'll remember your name as well as your beer. Jeff is very customer-facing. He is extremely passionate about his craft and it shows. He actively looks for input on the kinds of beers people want to see. He comes up with great brews with memorable names (Weirdo in the Window is my personal favorite) and knows how to sell folks on beers they might not normally be interested in - that's where that passion really opens other people's minds. The atmosphere is very laid back and it's not unusual to see different groups of patrons interacting and making new friends. There's board games to play and local restaurants to order from. Hands down one of, if not the best, spots in all...

Wow, I never left a place in such disbelief. I called 23 minutes before they closed, no answer. I get there a few minutes after calling because I was on my way to pick up 2 crowlers and figured I would call ahead to make it easier.. once I pulled up a lady rushes inside and denies me service where there is a table full of people there. I ask the lady if I could get two Crowlers and the lady with a the glasses looks at the other lady and goes “ we already called last call, didn’t we? Yup we did.. bye bye now” let me tell you this isn’t the first time I’ve gotten over looked there. If your skin isn’t “right” then they’ll look right past you. Not here to down a small business because I LOVE...
