Real German bier,
Made in a real German town
Made by real Stubborn Germans!

Fresh Bier

We specialize in German and American style lagers, stouts, and ales. Our flagship beer Stubbornfest is a year-round Oktoberfest brewed in the traditional Marzen style and makes any day a good day to Prost! We have 18 taps of freshly brewed beer and a large selection of cans to take home with you. We also have bourbon barrel-aged beers and boast the largest bourbon and rye whiskey and collection available in the area, along with signature cocktails, and wine. Soda and non-alcoholic beverages available too.

Fun Atmosphere
Our brewery sits at the heart of beautiful downtown Waterloo, Illinois. We pride ourselves in having a fun, family friendly atmosphere. We do not serve food but encourage you to bring food in or order delivery/takeout from a great selection of amazing local restaurants. We have a basement Speakeasy, complete with decor and bar that’s available to rent for your next party. We also host a variety of exciting events like Sausagefest (our yearly anniversary party in April), Stubbornfest (our Oktoberfest in Oktober), and Black Beer Friday (our dark beer extravaganza the day after Thanksgiving), just to name a few. We even host a couple of social clubs including The FERM Homebrewing Club and The Brown Water Society bourbon tasting meetings.
