In the heart of Egg Harbor, Shipwrecked Brewery claims to be the only micro-brewery in Door County.

It is also a restaurant, but here we will focus on the brews that they concoct.Shipwrecked has a somewhat nautical theme, and is housed in an historic building that dates back to the mid-to-late 1800's.  There is a nice bar to the right as you walk in, with tables to the left as well as the restaurant, mainly housed in another room.  There is also a very nice patio out front, where, in season, you can enjoy a nice micro-brew.They do seasonal beers as well, like a Pumpkin Ale in the Fall, or maybe even a coffee porter.  But their standard brews are as follows, and, yes, we have had to sample them all, many times.

1. Bayside Blonde, which is  blonde colored, of course,  from roasted barley and choice hops from the Northwest.  It is a little hoppy, but has a nice crisp taste and flavor.
2. Captain's Copper, which is copper-colored, and more of a full-bodied ale ala the English ales, with a slight caramel flavor.  We enjoy this one quite a bit.
3. Door County Cherry Wheat, sounds kitschy, but this is my favorite micro-brew here.  It's a medium bodied beer, of course made with wheat and juice from fresh Door County cherries.  It really is quite refreshing on a hot summer day, and I have enjoyed this one the most.
4. Lighthouse Light, is indeed a lighter brew, yet hold up to the rest, with a hint of honey.  Very enjoyable indeed.
5. Peninsula Porter, is your dark, heavy beer offering, a little sweet, slight hint of coffee, with a rich malt flavor.

Shipwrecked opened in 1997, but the building is an historic pub and restaurant from the logging days back in the late 1800s.  There is even rumor that a notorious gangster from Chicago used to hang out here once in a while when he was laying low.

Open weekends (Friday-Sunday) in winter too!
