The Great Dane is known as one of the best places to eat in Madison, but it is also a shining gem in local brewery culture and a great bar to hit up any night of the week. The Dane brews and serves its own beer in one of the few brewpubs in the Madison area. 

 

 

 

The Great Dane has a lineup of 11 of its own beers always on tap with five to eight seasonal specialties. Currently specialities include bocks such as The Velvet Hammer Bock and Dominator Dopplebock. 

 

 

 

If you're looking for a home-style environment to kick back with a good beer, The Great Dane is the place for you. And hey, it's good to know where your beer is coming from!
