WISEACRE Brewing Company

WISEACRE Brewing Company, founded in 2013 by brothers Davin and Kellan Bartosch, is a Memphis-based craft brewery renowned for its diverse and innovative beer offerings. The brewery's name pays homage to a term of endearment from their grandmother, reflecting the personal touch and dedication infused into their brewing process.

Since its inception, WISEACRE has expanded its portfolio to include over 170 unique beers, ranging from traditional German lagers to hoppy American styles, complex Belgian brews, and experimental barrel-aged creations. This extensive range showcases the brewery's commitment to quality and creativity.

The brewery caters to a wide array of beer enthusiasts with its diverse offerings. In 2024, WISEACRE introduced two notable products: Hop Zip, a non-alcoholic, hop-infused sparkling water, and Sky Dog, a 99-calorie premium lager.

Hop Zip offers a zero-calorie, grain-free, and yeast-free alternative to traditional beers. It features Mosaic hops that impart hints of melon and tropical fruit, complemented by a natural lime spritz. Sky Dog provides a flavorful experience with fewer calories, appealing to health-conscious consumers seeking a lighter beer option.

The brewery's dedication to excellence is further evidenced by its accolades, including a Gold Medal for Sky Dog Premium Lager in the "American Light Lager" category at the 2024 Great American Beer Festival. This achievement underscores WISEACRE's ability to craft beers that resonate with both casual drinkers and connoisseurs.
