Tornado Brewing - Cudahy, WI

This place is legit. It's so refreshing to have a new brewery/brew pub open up and not have 10 different IPA's on tap. I'm so sick of the same styles being beaten to death. Dennis is pushing the brewing envelope over a cliff. I know I will be hitting up Tornado on a regular basis. Doesn't hurt that's it's 5 minutes from my house.

 

Just checked this place out last Friday as its a 15minute walk for me and I happened to enjoy every single beer I tried. My buddy and I both did the small 6-7oz glasses so we could sample as many as we could. From the blueberry stout, to the honeydew melon lager to the jalapeño blonde everything was very solid. Excellent beer, very fair prices, owner was cool and had great music playing. We are both new to brewing so we got to pick his brain and get some tips from him about the process. Check it out

 

This.

The wife, my mom, and me stopped by this past Saturday after my nephew's football game in St Francis. We stopped at St Francis Brewery for lunch first and comparing the 2 would be completely apples and oranges. Just like @beerwolf77, I will be stopping here quite often. Unfortunately, it is a little far away for me but still worth the drive.

 

Anyone tried the food there yet? Just curious is all, the focus is very much on their beer at the moment.. :-)

 

Stopped in last night. Brewer is a great guy and beer is amazing. Highly recommended. Show up and get your growlers filled people!

 

Were they offering fish and chips last night? Just curious.

 

I didn't see anybody get food. But there were burgers and home made chips available I remember. A group of about 20 costumed people showed up too and was quite entertaining.

Scotch barrel aged Scotch ale was my favorite followed by a BBQ flavored Saison.

 

Scotch BA? Damn, he's getting right down to it. Lots of peaty flavors?

 

Ya he updates his tap list on facebook

Already new stuff. Looks like I will have to go back

 

That's my old stomping grounds so I look forward to hitting that place up and then making the trip to Roman's!

 

Between the reviews and feedback on this thread, this guy must be the next coming of Beer Jesus.

 

Check it out for yourself and tell us we're all crazy.

 

That's the plan. I'm looking forward to it- best way to approach a beer is with an open mouth.

 

I stopped in yesterday and had some fanstastic, innovative beers. The spicy enchilada red ale was OUT OF BOUNDS. This guy is doing some wonderful, creative stuff - you've got to stop in!

 

I swung past there a couple of days ago and the place is closed...for good.

 

No they just moved.

Is it open in Menomonee Falls or not just yet?

 

Whew...good to hear, thanks! Well said in the first line of that piece..."just like that, from Cudahy to Menomonee Falls!" LOL
I ain't gonna drive to Menomonee Falls, though. :-( I could have walked to his previous location on Layton Ave..

 

I think yesterday was their first day open. Looks like they have outdoor seating too.
