Wisconsin Breweries History: JT Whitney's Pub and Brewery

Various restaurants and bars have occupied the building that houses J. T. Whitney's. Named after the major street in front of the brewpub, J. T. Whit-ney's was established in 1995. Brewmaster Richard Becker helped establish the brewing operation in 1996. Becker's family has a rich history in brewing. Many generations ago, in 1590, his ancestors opened the Mahrs Brau brewery in Bamberg, Germany, and it remains in the family. Today his uncle owns it. Becker's craft usually keeps six to eight beers on tap, but over a year he'll tackle American, British, and German ales that add variety to the list. Becker takes great pride in traditional German wheat beers. His Heartland Weisse won a silver medal at the 1997 World Beer Championships

J. T. Whitney's signature beer is Badger Red Ale which is a Medium bodied and very smooth ale. J. T. Whitney's is near several shopping areas, a golf course, and a driving range and miniature golf park. It is located one block north of the Beltline (Highways 12 and 14), at the northwest corner of Odana Road and Whitney Way in the Whitney Square Shopping Center.
