Shipwrecked Brewpub sits right at the bend of Highway 42 as it makes its way through Egg Harbor, one of the beautiful little towns on the Green Bay side of Door County. Housed in a saloon originally built in 1882, Shipwrecked was a craft brewing pioneer in this part of the state when it opened in 1997. The brewery served thirsty and hungry residents and visitors alike until a major fire rendered the original building and brewery to ashes in 2017.

Late the following year, a new, larger Shipwrecked Brewpub opened on the very same spot. Shipwrecked expanded its food menu, added more beers, and even moved on up with a second floor space that offers views of the waters of Egg Harbor as well as up and down the main drag. Some whimsical art pieces have been added, including some that support drinking and dining tables.

Beer-wise, Shipwrecked has been legendary for its Door County Cherry Wheat, drawing from the peninsula’s extensive cherry orchards. Other beer selections – subject to change, of course – include the Bayside Blonde, Peninsula Porter, Captain’s Copper, Milk Stout, an India Pale Ale, and their East Coast IPA, among others. A variety of cocktails and martinis can also be enjoyed, along with local wines and spirits from the Door County Winery & Distillery.

You can also choose from an extended food menu from appetizers to sandwiches to a variety of entrees from meatloaf to shrimp to pike with your beer (or other) selections, since one can’t eat on an empty stomach.
