Hoppy Hour Every Hour – The Best Breweries Near Your Madison Apartment

June 28, 2025

Where great beer meets great living (and your fridge gets a break)

Let’s be real—few things pair better with warm summer nights and roommate gossip than a crisp local brew. If you're browsing apartments for rent, or looking to level up your life with one of the best apartments in Madison, there’s good news: Stone House Development's Madison apartments just so happen to be in the middle of a full-blown brewery wonderland. Whether you’re a self-proclaimed craft beer snob or you just really like a good patio with string lights, Madison’s brewery scene has something worth toasting.


Top Breweries Worth a Sip (or Several)


🍺 Young Blood Beer Co. – Fun, funky, and full of wild flavors, this is where beer gets experimental—and your Instagram feed gets better.


🍺 Working Draft Beer Company – Equal parts brewpub, community hangout, and chill coworking zone. Come for the hazy IPAs, stay for the fact that no one’s judging your third pint on a Tuesday.


🍺 Karben4 Brewing – This one’s for the bold. With colorful, comic book-style artwork on their cans and a laid-back outdoor patio, Karben4 is a full sensory experience. Grab a Fantasy Factory and soak up the sun (and the vibes).


🍺 Giant Jones Brewing – Organic, bold, and brewed with intention. It’s the kind of brewery where you leave with a favorite beer and at least one new friend.


🍺 Starkweather Brewing Company – A newer name with big flavor. Cozy vibes, creative beer names, and the kind of place that makes locals brag they “discovered it before it was cool.”


Sip, Stroll, Repeat

Living near Madison’s best breweries means happy hour can start (or end) just steps from your front door. You’re never far from a spontaneous flight with friends, a new seasonal release, or a dangerously good beer cheese pretzel.


So if your dream home involves walkable breweries, good vibes, and solid snacks, you might want to pour yourself into one of our best apartments in Madison.
