Brewing all their beers in house, Hop Haus Brewing Company is a great stop for Hoppy IPAs, crisp lagers, dark stouts and more! Their 1st & 10 Amber Ale is a fall favorite, and may be the perfect brew for football watching! With notes of caramel and biscuit paired with cascade hops, it's a smooth, drinkable brew.

Their Fitchburg location also offers a full menu and has a rooftop patio, with cozy fire pits during the cold weather months!
The Great Dane Pub And Brewing Co.
The Great Dane Pub And Brewing Company is a local favorite for their classic, locally brewed beers. On tap at their Fitchburg location is a mix of seasonally rotating beers, classics that are always on tap and limited releases.
