PetSkull Brewing Company — Restaurant in Manitowoc

First time stopping in and I was very impressed by the quality of the beers and food!

Tasting is 5 beers for $20 which is a little steep but everything I tried I enjoyed and the pours are decent.

I ordered the chicken tenders and French fry combo. Both were great and did not taste like the typical frozen apps you’d expect when ordering tendies. The chicken tenders tasted REAL and the ranch they come with was also fresh and perfectly balanced. The French fry combo had regular and sweet potato fries. The SP fries are always a gamble but these were delicious - not too thick so they still had crunch. The sauce is amazing!

I tasted the following beers and they were all very well done in my opinion. Everyone has their own palette but even the styles I don’t usually drink tasted good. I tried the following beers: Udderly Peachy (Nitro) Peach Milkshake IPA - I’ve never tried a nitro milkshake IPA, but this was great. Southside Amber Lager Lager - Vienna - this was my favorite! Such a unique flavor. It is extremely well done Schnitzky Wheat Beer - Hefeweizen - This was another unique style that had good flavor as well. Definitely got the clove/banana on this. Jake's Malt Lemonade Malt Lemonade - very well balanced on the lemonade flavor. Unlike a summer shandy, you could definitely house 5 of these and not have a sour stomach. Bar Oil Schwarzbier - usually such a dark bier you expect it to hang around on the palette after your first sip but this had a nice smooth finish that doesn’t hang around too long.

My favorite was the southside amber lager but I would order each of these again if I had to. Overall a very cool stop on the way up to door county. Love the historical buildings and this definitely kept all of the character and...

Overall we enjoyed our experience. Since we were visiting several places in Manitowoc we arrived at opening time and did not get to enjoy the live band. Order at the counter, no table service. Limited menu but the food was good.

Constructively, if you open at 12 noon the pizza oven should be warmed up and ready to go. Since it wasn’t we waited for 30-45 minutes for 3 orders to be done. The pizza was good but if you want fresh mushrooms you won’t find them here, they use canned. All of us felt the pizzas could have used a touch more time in the oven to finish the cheese.

A very nice selection of craft brews! We tried 4 of them and our favs were Reigning Blood and School Milkshake.

There is a raised band stand in side and spacious outdoor patio with a nice view of the river.

This appears to be an old factory and it’s cool inside. The wooden floor must have 1000’s of stories and the exposed brick and electrical motors are awesome. You’ll be able to see the brewing vessels both upstairs and thru an in floor window exposing the basement.

This is one of my favorite breweries period. I often make the trip 30 minutes out of town to go here. The staff and ownership are wonderful. The beer is great and there is so much entertainment.

Three bands in the same week is not uncommon. They're very well set up for music here. They have a great outside space for summer time and they have a really nice stage setup in the winter time. It makes it very versatile for bands to play at.

I've enjoyed watching many bands here and been there many times.

The bar food is on point and often has specific event based foods. They have some culinary talents here and used to have a full service menu. They retain those abilities and apply them as specific events and with the bar food they put out.

This is a stop not...
