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.[2] 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.[3]
As of 2016, South Shore beer is available for sale in 60 counties, in three states.[3]
Products
editThe company's flagship beer is Nut Brown Ale, a medium-colored ale, with low bitterness, similar to an English Mild ale.[2]
In 2008, the brewery gained notability within the Local Food Movement when it began using locally produced barley, and regional hops.[4]
