Our Story

Built by locals,
for the people
of Menasha.

Bare Bones Brewery started with a simple idea: Menasha deserved a place where craft beer wasn't an afterthought — it was the main event. No stuffy atmosphere, no snobbery. Just real beer, real people, and real good times.

We brew on-site, source locally when we can, and pour every pint like it's the first one we've ever made. Our taproom is your living room — come as you are.

Amber ale with golden color
STAPLE

Main Street Amber

5.4% ABV

Smooth, approachable, and endlessly drinkable. A caramel-kissed amber that tastes like Menasha in a glass.

Caramel Toasty Medium Body
Dark stout with rich head
SEASONAL

Fox River Stout

6.8% ABV

Bold and brooding with notes of dark chocolate and espresso. A winter warmer that earns its place year-round.

Chocolate Espresso Full Body
Hoppy pale ale
NEW

Clutch City Pale

5.9% ABV

A hop-forward pale ale that punches above its weight. Citrusy, resinous, and dangerously sessionable.

Citrus Pine Medium+

Steps from the square, easy parking, and right in the heart of downtown Menasha. You're already here — might as well stay a while.

"Finally, a brewery in Menasha that feels like it actually belongs here. The beer's solid, the vibe is relaxed, and the people running it treat you like a neighbor — not a customer."
