If you’re in Janesville and you haven’t been to Gray’s Brewing Company, are you even doing it right? This place is basically beer royalty in Wisconsin—it’s one of the oldest family-owned breweries in the entire state and has been serving up cold, bold, and award-winning brews since 1856... yeah, you read that right. That’s over 165 years of craft mastery poured into every glass, and let me tell ya, the minute you walk into this place, it smells like tradition, hops, and happiness 🍻🔥🧡

🏆 Why Gray’s Is More Than Just a Brewery

• 🍺 Historic legacy dating back to the 1800s—five generations of brewing magic

• 🧪 Small-batch, handcrafted beer—every drop is brewed with precision and pride

• 🌈 Creative seasonal flavors like Blood Orange Ale, Rock Hard Red, and Oatmeal Stout (perfect for those chilly Wisconsin nights)

• 🥤 Old-fashioned soda line that includes Root Beer and Cream Soda for non-drinkers and kiddos (or just soda lovers)
