Ffats Brewing Company, Whitehall

In Whitehall, the seat of Trempealeau County, you’ll find Ffats Brewing Company. “Staff” spelled backwards, Ffats was established in 2016 and its current tap room, right along U.S. 53 and Highway 121, opened in 2017. One of their big slogans is “Come Do Beer With Us.”

A wide variety of beers are brewed up at Ffats, including some that are available consistently, some which are seasonal, and some that pop up from time to time (known as the “Haley’s Comet” line.)
