CraftBeer readers vote The Brass Tap in Greenfield one of the top beer bars in America
Kathy Flanigan
For the second year in a row, The Brass Tap in Greenfield made the list of Great American Beer Bars, representing Wisconsin.
The Brass Tap, 7808 W. Layton Ave., was named the best beer bar in Wisconsin by readers of CraftBeer.com, a Brewers Association website. The association represents independent and craft brewers nationwide. Readers' votes are tallied, and one beer bar is named in each state.
The bar was commended for its "200 craft beers from around the globe in a neighborhood atmosphere that feels both relaxed and upscale." The beer bar serves 80 beers on tap and 140 in cans and bottles.

Nick Marking, a former technology coordinator for the Chicago Public Schools system, opened The Brass Tap in 2015. It was the franchise's first in Wisconsin.
Marking said he was "super excited to win back to back years."
