Copper State Brewing Company

Copper State Brewing opened in the former Hinterland space in 2017. It’s right across the street from Titletown Brewing and across the lawn from the Neville Public Museum. So yes, the location is pretty darn good. So is the beer, with a variety of styles available. They also offer tours Saturday at 1pm and 3pm, and by appointment.

At last check, Copper State offered 16 of their beers on tap. Popular ones include the One Cent Wheat, Rugged North German Lager, Kupfer Kölsch, the Stilt Stepper IPA, Dos Gussys Mexican Lager, Good N Ruddy Amber, Pomegranate Pucker Sour, Frazzle Berry Slushee (a fruited sour), Up Nort’er Porter, Silent Canary Double IPA, the Platinum Coffee Blonde, Chocolate Coffee Peanut Butter Porter, Platinum Blonde Coffee Stout, and the Swift (As Molasses) Stout. Other regular and occasional taps are available, too.

Copper State also features guest taps, often other Green Bay-brewed beers. If you’re more of a wine or spirits person, they have you taken care of there too – along with a full food menu throughout the day. Copper State’s kitchen offers up a variety of pub fare, including burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, and salads. Apps include Thai Brussels Sprouts, Jerk Chicken Tacos, and Fried Cheese Curds battered in their Stilt Stepper IPA, served with a House Bloody Mary Sauce.

With such proximity to downtown offices and businesses, Copper State brews more than craft beer: their coffee shop – known as Copper Rock Coffee Compamy – opens at 6:30 am weekdays and 7am Saturdays to serve hot java for thirsty patrons who want to shale the cobwebs off, as well as chais and teas, milk and other beverages, along with snacks to get people going – or sustaining. The outdoor patio offers a nice spot to quaff your beverages right by the Fox River.

You’ll find Copper State Brewing across from The Cannery and Titletown Brewing along U.S. 141/Dousman Street in downtown Green Bay. The Neville Public Museum is adjacent, and a walk along the Fox is but paces away. I-41 and Highways 29, 32, 54, 57, and 172 also bring you close.
