January 2026 Update
Station 1 Brewing & Company Coffee are located in the same building in Vickery Village in Suamico, and they are spots I've frequented a decent amount since having a son in December. Heck, as you can see in one of the photos below, my wife & I have brought little man to Station 1 & Company Coffee a few times already!!  The Station is a great spot to spend a few hours working while Company Coffee is open in the morning, and then sometimes you find yourself staying until the Station opens for a drinks after a hard day of answering emails, texts, and posting on social media.

Pete brews a great beer and he is constantly trying new beers out and getting creative with the flavors. It is one of my favorite spots to hang out whether to do some work, or catch up with friends. Whenever someone is looking for a coffee shop or a brewery to check out I recommend Station 1 Brewing as well as Company Coffee.

And finally let me say something else I love about these two businesses; the food. They have always had a few good apps, and just introduced new pizzas that are quite tasty. But they are also open to allowing you to bring food in from outside such as from Rustique or from The Kitchen Table. Yeah, this is truly a great spot built for customers to have a good time and enjoy food, drink, and amazing conversation!!

Welcome to this month's #FridayFeature, and it's one of my favorite breweries, and it's right here in Northeast WI......Station 1 Brewing!

Pete is so good to call me out when I arrive and personally welcome me, and I've enjoyed many laughs with him, so I decided to thank him by giving out a gift card to sample the beer he brews.

October 2024:  Now that I have started volunteering weekly with the Alpha course through Green Bay Community Church at Station 1 Brewing, I am here weekly; which is awesome. Recently I got to enjoy the Oktoberfest event that was held, the beer was amazing and the atmosphere electric. Great turnout for the event!!

And this past week I got to enjoy a special beer brewed as part of the Honor Beer Series which honored some family members who had gotten married the weekend prior. If you're lucky they still have a bit left and it's quite a tasty Belgian Golden Strong Ale.
                           

July 2024:  It's been a while since I've posted about Station 1 Brewing, but I can tell you it's not as if I haven't been out there. I find myself at the Station quite frequently visiting with friends, listening to music, having a business meeting, and going on dates with my lovely wife. Most recently we were out there for a gathering related to the release of two new beers.

Suamango & Blinker Fluid, both IPAs, were inspired and crafted with the assistance of some friends, who were members of the Chief Level Founders Club. Both of these were delicious and we were even treated to some great music, however Mother Nature had different ideas, and when life (or the weather) gives you lemons (aka a nasty storm), you make the best of it. We were treated to a more acoustic type show inside the brewery

Seriously if you have not been out to Station 1 Brewing yet, I highly recommend it. Plus you have the Kitchen Table for some amazing food, Rustique right down the road, Spork, Chives and ice cream at Suamico Creamery. Vickery Village has some great gems for food & drink so I highly recommend you check it out ASAP.

December 4, 2023:  Have you been out to Station 1 Brewing at all in 2023? If not, go check it out and see the beautiful Christmas tree they have up, with lights sparkling through the large garage doors. And consider grabbing dinner from The Kitchen Table (full review coming soon) a new restaurant next door, where you can get an amazing home cooked style meal from Tricia who is simply an amazing cook and an even more wonderful human. You won't be disappointed with the meal and it pairs so nicely with a fresh brewed pint from Pete.

And for those of you familiar with the military, or simply are fascinated by morse code, can you tell me what the code on the front of the bar at Station 1 Brewing stands for? If you guess, and send me a message with it I'll buy a beer for you at Station 1.

September 15, 2023:  Let me tell you about Station 1 Brewing's Creed. This is what the owners stand for, the design for their business, and exactly why I love this place. I have read this multiple times, but had not shared this with any of the readers of this blog, and I believe this is a powerful business model and needs to be shared. In fact, it's copyrighted by the owners because they truly believe in it.

Station 1 Brewing desires to be a place for people to go and experience community with those they are with and feel comfortable to be vulnerable with each other. So many places these days are all about making a profit and entertaining you with TV's and gimmicks. Station 1 Brewing does have trivia nights, cribbage nights, they do live music and host an Alpha course. But through all of this they are here for you, the customer because they want their brewery to be a place that allows everyone to relax and be authentic.

The human spirit is a powerful thing, and to be powerful it needs to be loved and known by others and Station 1 Brewing wants to help you build those relationships (one beer at a time).

June 5, 2023 (Original Post):  As I sat down to start this post I thought to myself, why do I love Station 1 Brewing, and the answer came to me instantly. The environment that has been created is one that welcomes good, deep, conversation with those you are with. I personally have shared many wonderful conversations here, whether with family, friends, or people in my professional network. I must have been onto something because when I pulled up the website and looked at who Station 1 believes they are it states clearly "we strive to cultivate moments that matter," and "sure, we love beer; but what we cherish the most are the people we share it with and the memories we make together." 

I'd say this creed perfectly sums up my experiences at Station 1 Brewing and I can't wait to have more of these enjoyable times there, maybe with you if you'd like to grab a pint and network.

Station 1 Brewing is up in Suamico, which means many people tell me "ugh why would I want to go all the way to Suamico" and I have a simple answer for them. Suamico is not far, and you'll be very happy when you get there. The wonderful folks who started the brewery took over an old fire house and converted it into an amazing spot complete with garage doors, firepits, plenty of seating, and a private room to host events. Station 1 Brewing is also one of my favorite spots to go, for one of the same reasons I love Ledgestone Vineyards & Gnarly Cedar Brewery, they don't have TVs. I asked Pete (owner and Brewmeister) about this once and the answer was simple and as I expected, "I want people to converse and share stories, not sit with one eye on a TV and be half engaged." It's a powerful thing to have a conversation with someone and look them in the eye because you feel closer and build a stronger bond, so this resonated with me.

Being a newer brewery in town, they don't have quite the beer selection that other breweries have, but that's a good thing. Pete is not churning out beers just to have something on tap, he's methodical and wants to provide customers with a quality product that they will come back to enjoy again. The beers that are on tap I can attest are awesome and well worth the short drive from anywhere in Brown County. The food options offered are limited but you are welcome to order in from elsewhere and enjoy onsite, so go order a pizza from Rustique and check out Station 1 Brewing. I promise you won't be disappointed and you'll want to go back, plus there are several great eateries within walking distance of the brewery so make a date night out of it (and they have some uniquely awesome decorations).
