Launchdown | Supermoon Brewing Co.

Supermoon began when Rob Brennan moved back to Milwaukee from Chicago. You might recognize Rob (as I did) from his time at Penrose Brewing in Geneva, IL. He helped start the brewery, acting as the sales manager for its first four years. Supermoon focuses on mixed fermentation farmhouse-style beers. Located in the Bay View area of Milwaukee (like a four minute drive from 1840 Brewing), the former general store-style building will eventually become Supermoon’s taproom. Beers are released when they’re ready and typically there’s a release every month or so. Launchdown is one of those releases.

The online ordering and pickup process might be the best in the city, they crowlered off their party-specific one-offs and sold them online, and, oh yeah, they released what could arguably be the best Deep Wood lineup ever. And it all starts with the barrel-aged oatmeal stout, Deth’s Tar.
