WildManDan Brewery - 21+ Only

Awesome Mom & Pop brewery w/phenomenal beers and a welcoming, chill vibe. This isn't your typical 151 tourist trap, the focus is on the beer and the people. Their Saturday grilled cheese and beer pairing is delicious and never disappoints. Overall a great place for great people. Douche bags and obnoxious over sampling tourists please go elsewhere.

Update - they've really grown into a mature, yet still down to earth testing ground for unique beers. Should 100% be in your list if you like something different.

Unique experience - straight up small batch brewery. If you're lucky, Dan himself will make an appearance. They produce 10 gallon batches of unique brew. If you're wandering from one massive brewery to another, stop by here and check out what they have on tap. The kettle corn is a bonus.

This place is so cool, I kinda don't want to tell folks about it! But, it's an experience y'all should have. It's a cool location, built by some cool owners/brewers pouring some really good beer.
Love local, love beer
Check them out!

Best pilsner I've had in a long time! WildManDan's was the perfect stop at the end of our day. The nostalgic ambiance, the pet friendly vibes, and the owners/operators were fantastic. We will definitely be back!

100th review!
So nice to have a "low key" brewery experience in the Nelson Co area. As all the others get watered down with more and more investors, this place is a breath of fresh air.
Terri was a delight! Go Pack!
Just be mindful that there are no children allowed (we knew in advance so we charged the tablets and let them go wild with Halloween candy in the car while mom and dad enjoyed a flight and a pint and some crowlers to go!)
oh and the beer? delicious! you can always taste the love and dedication that goes into these small batches.
Looking forward to returning the next time

I visited with my wife on Aug 24th. What a fantastic little spot! Everyone inside was so friendly, there was cool outdoor seating and a cool indoor area. If I lived in the area, I’d be one of the regulars we met, but unfortunately, being from Michigan makes that difficult. They have great beer with great range. I loved ping ponging back and forth between the IPA and the peach sour, which gives you a great range. They even have their own seltzer. Anyway, go here! (But don’t tell too many people about it and ruin the place! I felt obligated to write my review though since I only found it because of Google!)

Found a new rather small microbrewery called Wild Man Dan Microbrewery just off 151. They also have a B&B onsite so a great combination. Normally they have 5 beers on tap but one was sold out. I did a flight and can honestly state that all were very good. I especially liked both of the stouts on tap. I will say that in general I dislike sour beers except for this place. I actually like their sour beer better than any other place I've tried. Depending on what you prefer they have good indoor and outdoor seating. The 1st floor indoor seating is rather small but their upstairs area is great.

Love this place! Has the feel of a small neighborhood pub located in a barn - fun, eclectic vibe. Terri runs the front of the house; greets locals & 1st timers with equal enthusiasm. Lively, interesting conversations are sure to occur. Located upstairs is a large game room. WMD is a small batch brewery with limited choices but all are great and selections change regularly. Non-alcoholic drinks are limited to Coke and water. An official Green Bay Packers bar. We will definitely visit again.

Neither my husband or I would have ever thought we’d be ones to enjoy going to hang out at the actual bar talking to people we don’t know, but we’ve done it multiple times here now and plan to continue! Terri really facilitates something special here especially paired with the great drink options from WildManDan himself! It’s been so fun to hang out here - and the grilled cheese pairing on Saturdays seems to be a new special plan we’ll be making at least once a month. Special brews like jalapeño porter, tamarind and chili pepper pale ale, black IPA, all so good, along with really great standards like the Pik Ax (Irish red ale!).

Someday we want to bring a group with us and hang out in the great space upstairs too!

Really enjoyed this place. Wood interior top to bottom. Super cozy seating if you like it, or classic bar side if you're feeling that instead. Beer was very yummy, and the bartender was warm and friendly.

Such a welcome surprise! You’d be missing out if you don’t stop here specifically when trying beers on 151. Everything here tasted amazing and the atmosphere wonderful! The friendly people I’ve met at any brewery around hands down. We will be back 100%

My husband and I had such a great time at this brewery! The owner and her daughter were so sweet and friendly! We loved the beer and can’t wait to go back.

Great place and great beer. The atmosphere is old school with game tables upstairs and the bar downstairs. Check out the old piano beer taps!! Dan and Terri are great!!

Small but the best beer in the area by far. A very nice couple that brew beer during the week and sell it on the weekend. You won’t see a sign for their brewery but it is worth the search. Two of my favorites were a sour peach and a smoked wheat but all five beers on the menu were very good.

Decided to try Wild Man Dan's after a couple of hours at the Blue Ridge Tunnel and very glad we did. Terri was incredibly welcoming and helpful as she made a few food recommendations. Food is not sold at the brewery, but you are welcome to bring your own. The place is dog friendly and has both indoor and outdoor seating. The property also houses a bed and breakfast, which is probably a pretty cool experience if we weren't local.

My husband enjoyed the Bruggee Goud Sterk (Belgian Gold) while I preferred the Pik Ax (Irish Red Ale). We were both pleased with our selections and the overall vibe of the establishment. Next time we are in the area, we will definitely return.

Great atmosphere for a small new brewery. Sad it was raining when we stopped by so we couldn't enjoy the outdoor patio area, but the inside did not disappoint. It was like walking into your favorite local bar. The owner and his wife are very friendly and willing to chat about anything. The beers were great! Full of flavor and all of them unique to their style. We definitely recommend stopping in and taking a crowler to enjoy later too.

If you're looking for bold flavors and a fresh experience, you need not go any further. WildManDan Brewery truly lives up to its name - wild, in the best way possible! Their entire selection is pure gold. Get the Flight, you won't regret it. 5/5.

Dan and his wife are really nice people and an afternoon there felt like hanging out in the coolest man den ever! Tasty beer and awesome vibes.

What an awesome place. Terri and Dan we so hospitable. It felt like we were visiting friends at their personal bar. We'll be definitely be back to visit.

My wife and I stopped by here on a Friday looking for a spot to try some local beer and to get some work done. We were greeted with open arms by the owners Terri and Dan and was able to use their Wi-Fi to do some work. We had some great conversations getting to know each other and all of their beer was fantastic! We really enjoyed their Irish stout and I was a big fan of RyeShe Knows their rye IPA. This place is a must see if you’re in the area their beers won’t disappoint. We’ll definitely be back!
