After hitting up another brewery in the area, we decided to visit O'so too since we'd be driving through Plover on our way back home. We checked the website to see if they had a tour, but it didn't appear that they did so when we arrived we just ordered a couple of beers and sat down in the tap room to try them. When looking back over the website later I saw that we missed the tiny paragraph about tours on the Taphouse tab. We were definitely at the brewery when they were scheduled to happen (1 and 2 PM on Saturdays), but the bartender made no mention of a tour and we didn't see anyone taking one. Such a bummer to have been there at the right time but have no clue it was happening.
After downing multiple pours at the previous brewery, I opted for a pint of my old post-college favorite, The Big O (an orange wheat), and a sample of the Milkstache milk stout. The Big O definitely tastes best on draft, and was a nice refreshing summer afternoon beer. I loved the Milkstache and wish I had gotten a full pour of that instead (though I was so full I probably wouldn't have finished).
Samples are pricey at $2.25 and $3 for non-O'so beers; just bite the bullet and get a full pour for $4.50/5 to share with friends if you can't finish.
As for ambiance, the tap room is in a strip mall and while nice, it is super dark inside. We were there on a sunny summer afternoon and it felt like it was 7 PM from how dim it was. Drinking beers in the dark makes me super sleepy, so we headed out after our first round.
All in all, it was an a-ok experience and I'm looking forward to checking out their new space another time once it's completed. They've purchased 20 acres of land and foresee a large space with disc golf, kick ball, and a taproom with food. Their beer is good, so I'm excited for them to have a space that's more of a destination and a more unique experience than what now feels like just drinking in a suburban bar.
