We've updated our Special Tapping calendar with a 2026 Founders Ultimate Oktoberfest. This is a classic German-style Marzen with the smooth, rich flavors that only nine months in a bourbon barrel can provide! Spread the word and we'll see you when you get here! 🤘

It’s true. The 2025 Wisconsin State Fair has cancelled the entire Fair for today, ending the Fair for this year. We have notified all our bands and employees, and as a result we will not be opening today. However, we have THREE more shows coming up PLUS we’re open during the upcoming INDYCAR event PLUS we still have Harvest Fair! So stay tuned, we are NOT done! 🤘

After last night’s flash flooding resulted in the early closure of State Fair Park, Wisconsin State Fair officials have determined the Fair Park will not reopen for Sunday, August 10. We understand the disappointment you may feel as our team works all year for these 11 days. However, the safety of our Fairgoers, team, partners, and vendors will always be our top priority.

If you purchased tickets to The "Happy Together" Tour for the show this evening through Etix, those tickets will be automatically refunded back to the purchaser.

We are saddened we cannot deliver this final day of the Wisconsin State Fair, but know that this is the best decision with current conditions and the forecast ahead.

If you get hungry after enjoying our craft b**r selection, the Budweiser Pavilion has you covered at the 2025 Wisconsin State Fair! Introducing our Wisconsin Old Fashioned Wings! Crispy, baked chicken wings glazed in a bourbon Old Fashioned-inspired sauce with bourbon, orange juice, cherry juice, and a hint of zest. Garnished with a skewer of an orange slice and maraschino cherry on top. Ya gotta come try one! (or 10) 😁🤘
