KLONDIKE KAVERN ADDS CRAFT BEERS

A visit to the Wilderness in Wisconsin Dells now means you can sample some local and regional craft beers right on property. Join us at Klondike Kate’s near the Klondike Kavern Waterpark for a sampling, choose your favorites and pair them with a pizza from our nearby Klondike Pizza Kitchen.

According to Eric, our food and beverage manager, “Wisconsin’s history is synonymous with names like Schlitz, Pabst, Blatz and Miller, so it is only natural for Wisconsinites to have a love of beer. However, in recent years, craft beers, which are brewed by small, independent and traditional breweries have really taken front and center stage with beer connoisseurs.

“Craft brewers are known for being creative. They are constantly coming up with new hops and beer flavors to keep beer lovers coming back for more. And, with apps like “Untapped”, which allow you to share socially with your friends the beer you’re currently enjoying, as well as where you’re enjoying it, beer drinking is more fun than ever!

“I think it’s safe to say it has become a hobby of sorts for beer fans to keep track of the brews they’ve tried, record the ones they liked, and keep a list of which ones they want to try in the future.”

Klondike Kate’s craft beer selection will be rotating on a regular basis so you will have fresh choices each time you visit the Wilderness.

(With Pizza Pairing)

Spotted Cow – New Glarus Brewery, New Glarus, WI
5.1% ABV  |  18 IBU

60 Minute IPA – Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Milton, DE
6.0% ABV  |  60 IBU
60 Minute IPA is continuously hopped – more than 60 hop additions over a 60-minute boil.  It’s brewed with Northwest hops giving it a strong hop flavor with a lot of citrusy hop characters. Pairs well with the Klondike Paradise Pizza.

 Fresh Squeezed IPA – Deschutes Brewery,  Bend, OR

Pale, Crystal and Munich malts are balanced with a generous dose of Nugget, Citra and Mosaic hops to create this IPA from Deschutes, which results in a strong citrus flavor reminiscent of fresh grapefruit. Pair with the Klondike Midnight Veggie Pizza. 

Wisconsin Amber – Capital Brewery, Middleton, WI
5.2% ABV  |  28 IBU
This rich amber lager is the perfect balance of roasted caramel malts and clean hop flavors, making it the perfect choice for any occasion.  This easy drinking beer is more refreshing than other amber style lagers out there. Pair with the Klondike Supreme Bonanza Pizza.

Good Old Potosi Golden Ale – Potosi Brewing Co., Potosi, WI
4.5% ABV  |   15 IBU
This golden ale has a delicate malt flavor and a sweet finish that is light in body and full in flavor.  When the locals ask for one they say, “I’ll have a Potosi.”  Another great Wisconsin brewery that gets to the point, which is making good brews for the rest of us.
