Want to spend a week thinking about beer the way Bobby does?

That`s basically the offer. The Art, Science, and Culture of Beer at Björklunden — five days of brewing chemistry, beer history, hands-on learning, tastings, and field trips. The kind of week that changes how you taste your next pint.

July 5–10 in Door County. Bobby`s teaching.

Today is Danielle`s birthday — and at McFleshman`s, we take birthdays seriously.
Danielle is our Assistant to Brewery Operations. She`s also the gravity of this place. The McFleshman`s universe genuinely does not spin without her in it — and if you`ve ever been here on a busy day, you`ve probably felt her work whether you knew it or not.
She would also like us to point out, very loudly, that she hates being the center of attention. (Sorry, Danielle.)

So we did the next-best thing this morning and filled her office with balloons. The surprise on her face? Worth every piece of tape.

Here`s the part where we need you. Drop a "happy birthday" in the comments. Tell her a story. Share a memory. Say the thing you`ve been meaning to say. If she`s made your day better — even once — let her know today.

We love you, Danielle. You make this place what it is.

Cheers — to you. ...

Happy Father's Day from McFleshman's.

Today, the first pint is on us — for the dads who taught us to love beer. The ones who let us take that first taste off the top, who poured a little into the small glass, who explained the difference between a lager and an ale before we could spell either.

Cheers to all the dads!!

Tomorrow night, POWER PINTS, at McFleshman`s.

Power Pints 920 is premiering at McFleshman`s — Sunday, June 21 at 6 PM. It`s exactly what it sounds like: smart, curious humans giving short, lively talks while you sip a beer in good company.

A taste of what`s on deck this round:
The greatest TV dads of all time (Happy Father`s Day). The last Crow war chief. Drive-in theaters of the Fox Valley. How to stop worrying and love AI. And more — all hosted by James McClure.

Outside if the weather plays nice. Inside if it doesn`t. Either way, you`re going to learn something and leave with a story.

Bring your dad. Bring your curiosity. Bring your second pint money.

Triple Crown bottles come out at noon today!

This is the bottle we make once a year. It started as 547 Day — when our celebration was all about one of our own. This year, we`re growing it into something bigger: a day to celebrate all West Coast IPAs, with breweries from across Wisconsin.

But the Triple Crown release? That tradition hasn`t changed a bit. A 12% Triple West Coast IPA brewed with Wisconsin honey. Hand-filled, hand-labeled, hand-waxed. Cellar-worthy. Come and get one before they`re gone until next year.

The Wisconsin West Coast IPA Invitational kicks off this afternoon — VIP at 2, GA at 3. If you don`t have tickets yet, this is the time.

Once a year, 547 dresses to impress.

Today at noon, the special edition 547 4-pack drops — black 16oz cans wrapped in four unique labels, each in a bright color. A West Coast Weekend tradition. The only time of year these labels see the light of day.

These didn`t come off an assembly line. Every can was filled, sealed, and labeled by our team — one at a time — because that`s how this beer earns its moment.
When they`re gone, they`re gone, and we won`t see them again until next year. So if you`ve been waiting, today`s the day.

And while you`re here: tomorrow is the Wisconsin West Coast IPA Invitational, and if you don`t have your tickets yet, this is your sign.

West Coast Weekend 2026 starts today!

FOUR days. FIVE things you don`t want to sleep on. Here`s the rundown:

Today — Shady Grove with Comet Leaf Hops. Our brewers stuffed a keg with Comet leaf hops, filled it with Shady Grove, and let it ride overnight. The result is on tap right now. When it`s gone, it`s gone — and if you fall in love, grab a crowler before it disappears.

Tomorrow — Lil` Toronado Crowlered Fresh, 3–10 PM. The beer went into the keg today, which means tomorrow`s crowlers are getting filled the same day it came out of the tank. It does not get fresher than this. Come and get it.

Friday at noon — 547 4-Pack Release. Black 16oz cans wrapped in a special edition Andy Warhol-inspired label. As cool as it is delicious.

Saturday at noon — Triple Crown Bottle Release. Bottles drop at the brewery — limited, layered, and ready to take home.

Saturday afternoon — Wisconsin West Coast IPA Invitational. Ten breweries. One trophy. Your vote on the line. VIP doors at 2 PM, GA at 3 PM. If you haven`t grabbed tickets yet, this is the nudge.

A party so hoppy you won`t want to miss it.

Yes, that`s a fanny pack. Yes, it holds three of your favorite West Coast IPAs (beer not included). Yes, it`s only for Wisconsin West Coast IPA Invitational VIPs.

You won`t find this beauty on the taproom shelf or anywhere else. It comes with one thing and one thing only: a VIP ticket to the Wisconsin West Coast IPA Invitational this Saturday, June 20.

A three-can cooler fanny pack. Built for hops. Engineered for flexing. Get it here or don`t get it at all.

(Also: VIP gets you an extra hour of early entry, a commemorative tasting glass, and a vote to crown Wisconsin`s best West Coast IPA. But honestly — the fanny pack.)

Tickets available on our website.

Do you know what day it is? Not day — what`s the date?

We`ll wait.

Some of you said June 16th. Wrong. It is, in fact, May 47th.

May does not end on the 31st. It never has. (Look it up. Or don`t.) Today we observe 547 Day, an annual occasion celebrated almost exclusively by us, on a date that almost exclusively exists.

To properly mark the calendar`s most underrated holiday, show this reel to your bartender today and your first 8oz pour of Lil` Toronado is $4 OR your first 8oz pour of 547 is $5 — one per person.

And if you`d like to keep the streak of good decisions going, lock in your tickets for The Wisconsin West Coast IPA Invitational this Saturday. Twelve breweries. One trophy. One excellent birthday party.
