    Potosi Brewing Company

    Originally founded in 1852 along the Great River Road and just a stone’s throw from the Mississippi River, the Potosi Brewing Company brewed more than a century’s worth of delicious craft beer before finally bowing to shifting market pressures and emptying its bright tanks for good in 1972. Re-founded on its original site in 2008, the Potosi Brewery has brought craft brewing back to Main Street Potosi, Wisconsin. Today our fine people lovingly craft only the highest quality beer β€” in small batches and without compromise β€” forging a renewed tradition of excellence that’s all our own.
