About
Capital Brewery, founded in 1984 in Middleton, WI, specializes in traditional German-style lager beers like Special Pilsner and Munich Dark, brewed in historic copper kettles from Germany. They have expanded to American-style ales, barrel-aged beers, hard seltzers, and IPAs, with Capital Amber as their largest seller available in cans since 1999. Committed to sustainability with solar panels, spent grain repurposing, and a brewery bike club, they feature a popular Bier Garten and event spaces.
