Minhas Micro Distillery

Fun experience, friendly staff, fun selection of drinks and shooters to take home for souvenirs. I got a Groupon so it ended up being extremely affordable, highly recommend looking into the group on. I wish this place offered a tour of the distillery but their brewery offers excellent tours just across the street!

Stopped on a Sunday when there was a Packers game on so it was not crowded at all. Used a Groupon for a tasting. You get 3 cocktail tastings along with a glass and small bottle of vodka to bring home.The staff is super friendly. You have the option to purchase their liquors at super reasonable prices.Located in the small town of Monroe Wisconsin,a fun drive from the Chicago area . They also have a brewery across the street and winery next door with a restaurant .A super fun way to spend an afternoon!

I am surprised by some of the reviews, since we had a wonderful time. We did use a Groupon for 2 tastings, and it was a great deal. They had a fall special with so many fun choices. We started out being the only customers in the place, but quickly more people came in. The staff were very nice and personable. The drinks were decent size for tastings, a little less ice would have been better. Without the Groupon a tasting cocktail was $4.00. The sell the Gene Simmons from Kiss Money Bag, which is vodka. It is a unique collaboration. Located in close proximity to Minhas Brewery and the Minhas Winery. A fun stop to visit all three.

Don't trust the complainers. Get the Groupon and this is a great deal. Bartenders were friendly and engaged us in conversation while mixing up our drinks. We've been here before so we knew what to expect but if you don't you can just ask and the staff are happy to explain. Even without a Groupon a cocktail was just $4. A fun stop while driving through Wisconsin.

I was surprised at how reasonable the pricing is and how good the spirits are. I really like the over the barrel Old Fashioned. I bought a bottle to take home. I like to make my own but this mix will be great to break out later in the evening. The staff is great! I really enjoyed my visit.

I mean....sure. We had fun, so 3 stars.It is a little different though. And we weren't entirely sure on what to expect.First, the distillery shares the building with the Minhas Brewery and the Minhas Winery. It is your one-stop drank shop, if you will. We didn't know this ahead of time. My friend had just searched for a distillery near where we would be so we could visit. At the time, about a year ago, there were shirts or stickers of some kind proclaiming "I survived" all three in one day. And y'all....that is A LOT. We definitely witnessed some crying girls and someone breaking up with their boyfriend over the phone and some stumbling...just pace yourselves and be aware.Anyway, the distillery offers no tour. It isn't your traditional distillery visit. (Well, the website now says they offer tours. That was not an option when I visited.) We paid a small amount and that got us a certain number of tastings or small cocktails. You could either sample the spirit solo, or there were menus with various mixed drinks, organized by the spirit in them. I opted for a couple of each. The cocktails were tasty and it was an interesting way to do things, show you how to use their products.I don't know if I would return here. It wasn't really special enough, there wasn't a tour...it was more like a really brightly lit bar that you would visit during the day.Again, we had fun after a great day bopping around this area of Wisconsin. But it was not exactly what we expected and didn't totally live up to what we had hoped for. Monroe is a cute little town and the brewery and distillery are worth a stop in....if you are in town. It might not be worth a special trip just for the distillery, but if you are booze-hopping around the area or are driving through some country roads, certainly stop in.

First of all, go in knowing this isn't the high-brow best in the world liquors. Knowing this, buy a groupon, even if going solo. $12ish for two people to have three 12-ozish cocktails made in person by staff, with a fifth of liquor and glass in a gift bag to go home with, is a stellar deal. Value-wise, I don't think you can beat the deal. Sure there is no tour, and the videos are just ok, but the easy walk-in, sit down, and select some well-made cocktails for a cost that is far less than a bar, you can't complain.

Thought we were going to the brewery, but veered into this distillery accidentally. Woman behind the counter was super rude and put off that we didn't have a reservation... there was not one other person in the place. It was 5 minutes past the hour and she recommended we make a reservation for the following hour. We did, as we thought the experience had potential. The TEN of us returned 50 minutes later for our reservation. Still we were the only patrons. The girl was extremely rude and short with all of us from the moment we purchased our tickets. She quickly went through the drink choices and proceeded to the bar area. She then barked at us to put our completed papers face down on the table. Three of us had questions and she did not answer one of them... she seemed annoyed and was unresponsive to anything out of her personal agenda. We actually felt like we were interrupting her day. As she finished our drink selections she shouted our names and told us to take our drink caddies. She put a video on and could care less about being engaging and offering customer service. After the videos completed she told us we could have a goodie bag. Again, zero customer service or any friendly flare. I hope she does a lot for this company behind the scenes because her people skills are probably hindering this business. I would never recommend this establishment, which is a shame since the brewery across the street was loads of fun. Together they could positively be a destination for a fun day... but not without serious changes. I have no idea the girl's name... Of course not, that would have been engaging, friendly, and professional to share!

We took a girls trip on Valentines Day weekend and the special weekend drinks here were really good! The place was packed and there was only standing room only. There were two women bouncing around between the three stations to choose from, but they got the drinks out pretty quickly. I definitely recommend this place to friends and will be back!

Interesting placeHalf of the staff was friendly other lady not so muchWristband with tags $12 tasting for three cocktails actually a pretty good deal included a bottle of vodkaThey started playing a video about who owned the place bit of a downer because the music was more fun All the makings of being great but just not therefriendly enough just basically cordial is all
