About Us

OUR STORY

As the AL. Ringling Mansion was being restored,
we came across a floorboard.

Under the floor, destiny was waiting.
A wooden box that would change everything.

On a folded piece of paper was a beer recipe.
“The Ringling Family Original” it came to be.

And so, AL. Ringling Brewing Co. emerged,
Enjoy our beer when you get the urge

Co-Owner Joe Colossa opened AL. Ringling Brewing Co. in Baraboo, Wis., located inside the historic AL. Ringling Mansion, in September 2020. The brewery’s goal is to honor the heritage of the Ringling Brothers and the German heritage in Wisconsin. 

We have a restaurant and enough space to host your next event. Our venue is family-friendly, and we also feature live music.
