Summer is great — we can all agree on that. But we think there’s a lot to be said for fall. Apple picking, pumpkin carving, light jackets — oh, and fall beer.

Walking into the grain room at 3 Sheeps Brewing Co. is, like with most things at Grant Pauly’s Wisconsin brewery, slightly out of the ordinary.

They also have deep roots in history.
