Tumbled Rock Brewery and Kitchen – Baraboo, WI

D and I did a little road trip to get out of town and on our way back, we popped by Tumbled Rock Brewery & Kitchen. It’s a relatively new place near Wisconsin Dells that’s really pretty impressive. The place is very unique – one building houses the restaurant and brewery, and the other is a separate taproom/taphouse that can be opened independently from the full restaurant. Both buildings are separated by a really nice outdoor patio with multiple seating options, firepits, a stage for bands, landscaping, and even outdoor carpet. This place is likely to do some killer outdoor business.

The beer menu is pretty diverse, so I went with a flight, just to get a good sampling. A brown ale, a kolsch, a Scotch ale, a black IPA, and a white stout. All of them were solid performers, but my favorite was Scotty’s Scotch Ale (if you’re asking). The flight comes in a muffin tin with some snack mix, which is a fantastic and inexpensive idea.

 

We were starving, so we got a couple things to share. The Sheet Pan Birria Nachos and the Bison Sliders. 

The Bison Sliders were good, which I’ve had some mixed experience with. Sometimes people cook their bison too long and since it doesn’t have a ton of fat in it, it dries out quickly. Tumbled Rock didn’t have this problem. They were nice and juicy, had great toppings on them, and are served on pretzel buns.

The Sheet Pan Birria Nachos were really awesome though. Good coverage of toppings – black beans, pico, jalapenos, cheese, olives, sour cream, and avocado – though I always want more cheese no matter what. The birria beef was really well seasoned and flavorful. I’d get these again – keep in mind it’s really difficult for me to turn down nachos of any sort.

 

This place is a really fun pit stop if you’re passing near the Wisconsin Dells or playing disc golf at the nearby course. I have a feeling we’ll be there again soon!
