Live music is all over the WDBC event calendar this month, and in addition to Ryan Burns at Working Draft Music Monday and Music Monday w/ Russell Pedersen, we're also hosting a magnificent Make Music Madison show featuring Madison's own Hollow Bill!!

A foot-stomping, beer-drinking good time, Hollow Bill stretches through eras and genres, mixing elements of classic rock, country, folk and blues to create a sound that blends their biggest influences with a modern folk-rock twist. Through a mix of originals and covers, Hollow Bill uses songs to highlight life's simplicity & complexity, good & bad times, love, loss and everything in between.

We absolutely loved hosting our Make Music Madison show last year, and Hollow Bill is sure to bring an amazing energy on a night of city-wide musical celebrations! And in addition to the live tunes, we'll have 16 craft beers and sodas on tap + fantastic food from the WDBC kitchen.

Cheers to all the great musicians who've come through the WDBC taproom, and stay tuned for more and more live music throughout the year!

Join Ryan Burns for his first time in Madison at Music Monday at Working Draft Beer Company as he tours to support his upcoming EP release!

Raised throughout the midwest and living in Chicago, Ryan Burns plays music colored with the simple values of his surroundings. After spending his childhood singing and playing songs, it wasn't until he was an adult that he realized his calling to make music.

Now Ryan plays genre-bending Americana songs on his banjo and guitar, winning over audiences with his combination of thoughtful songwriting and cathartic vocals. He’s played many regional festivals and shows over the past year solo and with the band Distant Brothers, including sharing the stage with The Last Bison, The Crane Wives, and Parker Gispert.

After honing his stage presence with dozens of shows since the Fall of 2018, Ryan is releasing his debut EP, The Institute, in May 2019.

As always, there’s NEVER a cover for our Music Monday shows!!

Feel free to bike to our June happy hour at Working Draft Beer Company, an awesome newer addition to the Willy Street Neighborhood with a community feel and a passion for hops.

Aside from the beer and atmosphere, we love that WDBC sponsors an Artist-in-Residence program, so that local artists can find dedicated space to their craft in the taproom, whether that's a gallery space, a venue for acoustic music, or a backdrop for a poetry reading. They also host a ton of trivia nights and fun collaborations with other local breweries!

During this Happy Hour, we'll be featuring Make-A-Wish Wisconsin, which creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Since their founding in 1984, more than 6,700 children and their families throughout the state have experienced the life-changing power of a wish. This year, Make-A-Wish® Wisconsin granted more wishes than ever before - 402 wishes. Make-A-Wish serves a unique, and vital, role in helping strengthen and empower children battling critical illnesses.

June 5th is Global Run Day, so let's celebrate.

Join us for a three mile run starting outside Working Draft Beer Company at 6:15pm, finishing up around 7pm.

At 7pm we will be hosting complimentary drafts for the first 100 people at Working Draft!

We've had a blast hosting local and traveling musicians for our Music Monday shows in the WDBC taproom, and that excitement continues as The Late Bloomers take the WDBC stage from 7-9pm on Monday, May 20th!

Between communicative guitars, pocketed rhythms, and methodically-formulated lyricism, The Late Bloomers spin a hard web to escape - and while the quartet hails from a variety of different backgrounds, their sound is close to home...wherever home may be.

As always, we'll have 16 taplines full of craft beer and soda + delicious in-house food available throughout the entire performance, and we can't wait to have you through for another Monday Funday at 1129 East Wilson!

Come see Benjamin Scully at Working Draft Beer Company for the first Music Monday in May!

Benjamin Scully is an indie rock artist originally from Appleton, WI, and Scully’s debut “Silhouettes – EP” produced by Mike Mains of Mike Mains & the Branches was released in November 2018.

The EP offers a variety of sounds with rock and acoustic folk while incorporating the sounds of influences such as Colony House, The Lumineers, Tom Petty, and Jack Johnson - and you can easily stream / purchase Silhouettes on all major music platforms.

Alongside Scully's live show from 7-9pm, we'll also have 16 taps full of craft beer and soda + delicious, scratch-made food from the WDBC kitchen - what more do you need?

Fans of lagers, backyard cookouts, and above ground pools REJOICE - the return of Madison Craft Beer Week also brings about the return of our annual Above Ground Pool Party...this time featuring 10+ lagers, a brand new collaboration beer, and delicious grilled food from the WDBC kitchen!

The party itself stems from the return of our incredibly-sessionable 3.5% 'Above Ground Pool' Premium American Light Lager - and while we might not have an actual pool on premises, we're sure as heck gonna party with this killer lager lineup:
- 'Above Ground Pool' Premium American Light Lager
- 'Hindsight' Pilsner
- 'Ain't Bad' Vienna Lager
- WDBC Maibock
- WDBC Imperial Red Lager
- Collaborative DDH India Pale Lager brewed with 1840 Brewing Company (!!)
- New Glarus Brewing Co. 'Totally Naked' Wisconsin Lager
- Lakefront Brewery 'Riverwest Stein' Amber Lager
- Full Mile Beer Co. & Kitchen 'Danger Close' Rye Lager
- Capital Brewery and Bier Garten Blonde Doppelbock
- Wisconsin Brewing Company guest lager

And for those of you looking for something non-lagered, we'll have:
- Our next limited batch of DDH 'Pulp Culture' Hazy IPA
- The malty-yummy goodness that is 'Seeing Single' Belgian Abbey Ale
- The absolutely scrummy Pale Weizenbock from Giant Jones Brewing Company
- And as always, we'll have one of Alt Brew's local gluten-free beers at the ready

As for the cookout-inspired menu, our fantastic WDBC kitchen will be showcasing some delicious pool party specials, including local brats and hot dogs + house-made potato salad and coleslaw *plus* a meal combo for those of you looking to take in the pool party for all it's worth!

Want more? We'll also have a massive 5' x 12' art installation entitled 'Above Ground Pool' in the house thanks to our good friend and local artist, Eric Thomas - so even if we can't get a real pool, we'll have a huge painting inspired by one!

BEST YET: we're bringing back our *commemorative Above Ground Pool Party glassware* - and you can grab a Pool Party glass filled with 'Above Ground Pool' for just $10 - with $1 off all your full pours of lagers throughout the duration of the event!!!!....!!!!!!!!

This party will once again serve as both our farewell to MCBW and our welcoming party for the warm weather we've all been waiting for...and we'll look forward to seeing you at the pool (party)!

We've been talking this one over for months now, and after bouncing all kinds of ideas around we're incredibly excited to finally release our first collaboration beer with the fantastic folks at Funk Factory Geuzeria - and just in time for Madison Craft Beer Week 2019!

What on earth did we create, you ask? How about a *Fruited Sour ‘Pulp Culture’ Hazy IPA*, inoculated with FFG's beautiful sour cultures, hopped with Amarillo, Denali, Enigma, and Mosaic, and infused with gallons of fresh peach puree...all lined up and set to hit the WDBC tapwall at 11am on Friday, 5/3!

This wild collab is exploding with notes of ripe peach, fresh cantaloupe, and extra dank hops - with flavors of oats and wheat bringing a soft balance to the hoppy-tartness...and needless to say we're SUPER pumped to add this collaborative gem to the WDBC tapwall!

Cheers to Mandrew, K-Bone, Frisky, and Levi for all the help bringing this collab to life, and we can't wait to have you through for a Madison Craft Beer Week Friday to remember!

With our WDBC Trivia Nights running every Wednesday through the end of May, we're incredibly excited to celebrate Madison Craft Beer Week 2019 with a 100% beer-focused night of trivia and good times!

That's right - if you think you know your way around a trivia night AND you think you know a thing or two about beer, this is the perfect night for you! While the WDBC trivia format will remain the exact same, we'll have all kinds of brewing and brewery-related questions to send your way!

And in addition to the beer-inspired trivia, we'll also have a *beer-inspired* NACHO plate - and if you've ordered our nachos before, you know it's a beast of shareable deliciousness!

Stay tuned for more trivia, nacho, and beer updates as Wednesday, 5/1 draws closer, and we'll hope to see you for a bevy of brewery brain-busters!

What happens when Working Draft Beer Company and The Lone Girl Brewing Company get together for our second collaboration brew? How about a seasonally-inspired 4.1% Belgian Grisette hopped with beautiful Huell Melon hops, for starters!

Legend has it Grisettes were originally brewed to quench the thirst of men laboring in the coal mines of southern Belgium, and seeing as though we're fans of sessionable beers and the legendary history of Belgian brewing, this collab was an absolute no-brainer.

Set for release at 3pm on Monday, 4/29, this collab is the perfect way to kick off your weekday Madison Craft Beer Week events - with a light, crisp, and refreshing drinkability alongside notes of pink peppercorn, wintergreen, and fresh honeydew atop a dry malt base. 

Cheers to John and the entire Lone Girl team for joining us on this collaborative brewing adventure, and we'll look forward to tapping this little nugget of history as MCBW gets into full swing!

702WI invites you to grab a pint at Working Draft Beer Company and enjoy the poetry and prose of authors Rachel Arndt and Hai-Dang Phan, who will read from and talk about their work! A book sale and signing will follow. This free event is part of Working Draft's Craft Beer Week.

Arndt's essay collection Beyond Measure asks the question: “How much can data tell us?”, challenging us to consider the simultaneous comfort and absurdity of our exhaustively quantified—yet never entirely quantifiable—lives.

In the poetry collection Reenactments, Hai-Dang Phan grapples with the history, memory, and legacy of the Vietnam War from his vantage point as the son of Vietnamese refugees, a vital addition to the literature of immigration.

Are you feeling lucky? If so then you surely won't want to miss out on this Pub Poker Run for amazing prizes. We've partnered with our friends at One Barrel Brewing Company and Working Draft Beer Company to bring you something different this year for Madison Craft Beer Week.

DDH 'Pulp Culture' is BACK on Friday 4/26 - and just in time for the launch of Madison Craft Beer Week 2019! This time around we've added two of our favorite hops, Nelson Sauvin and Sabro, for a hop combo unlike anything we've ever created!

Here's the skinny:
🍺 Just like our last DDH Pulp, this release will be taking place on a Friday - but with MCBW kicking off, we're moving the tapping and crowler sales up to *3pm SHARP*
🍺 We'll only have around 200 crowlers available at $15 each and limited to 3 per customer (with handy 3-pack carriers to boot!)
🍺 We will no longer be able to fill DDH Pulp crowlers once these initial 200 cans have been sold
🍺 And because stickers are awesome, we'll once again have some free limited-edition DDH Pulp stickers for anyone who grabs a crowler (along with a re-stock of our DDH Pulp tees!)

As you may remember from the last two DDH Pulp releases, we worked with the amazing Kristine Lohman in designing 4 limited-edition, Warhol-inspired Pulp Culture labels - and this is the 3rd of those 4 designs (thanks, Kristine!).

We'll also have an area of the taproom designated specifically for DDH Pulp crowler sales, and please stay tuned for more info leading up the event.

Nothing says MCBW kickoff party like a DDH Pulp release on Friday, 4/26, and we can't wait to share some Nelson + Sabro deliciousness with all our amazing fans, friends, and family!

Back by popular demand...Happy Hour run from Working Draft Beer Company!!!!
Similar to last time, we will have two routes laid out prior including shorter and longer options.
All paces welcome!
5:30 meet at Working Draft
6:00 start run
Socialize and enjoy a drink after!
Working Draft has generously agreed to give a 10% discount to anyone wearing Movin’ Shoes gear
