Tour & Pint

SIP SIP HOORAY! Ringling Original is the beer 🍺 that started it all, and this historical beer will always be Tap 1 at our Baraboo brewery.

We invite you to “Drink the History” by taking a pint with you on the guided mansion tour 🗝️ to learn more about AL. & Lou Ringling and where the curiously kept family beer recipe was discovered!

TOUR & PINT: $22 per person, you may choose any beer on our taplist! Must be 21+ to drink. Only 1 beer per tour ticket.
