Brewery Profile

Vennture Brew Co

Milwaukee’s brewing identity gives visitors many ways to approach a taproom, from historic beer landmarks to smaller contemporary producers. Vennture Brew Co. fits into that setting with an unusual format: it is not only a working brewery, but also a coffee roastery, taproom, and full-service cafe. A visitor walking in should expect a space built around both beer and coffee rather than a single-purpose bar. The company was established in 2018 by Simon McConico and Rob Gustafson, whose shared interest in the two beverage fields shaped the concept. Instead of separating morning coffee service from later taproom use, the business brings those functions together under one roof. That gives the room a broader daily rhythm than a brewery that opens only for evening pours.

Travelers in southeastern Wisconsin often look for places that connect them to the region’s long beer culture while also showing how newer breweries operate on a smaller, direct-to-consumer scale. Vennture’s model suits that kind of visit because the public-facing space is closely tied to what it makes: brewed beer and roasted coffee. The known focus is not a single flagship style or a list of named beers, but the experience of sampling house-made beverages in the same facility where the business presents its coffee and beer programs. For visitors planning a Milwaukee brewery outing, it can work as a daytime or evening stop, especially for groups with mixed interests. Someone looking for beer can use the taproom, while someone more interested in coffee has a reason to make the same stop. The cafe element also makes the visit feel different from a traditional beer-only tasting room.

Practical planning should start with the taproom and cafe, since those are the main customer-facing points for Vennture’s brewed beverages and roasted beans. The business operates as a direct-to-consumer facility, so on-site service is central to how visitors encounter its products. Specific beer names, current pours, coffee selections, food details, and hours are best confirmed directly with the brewery before going, as those items can change and are not fixed here. The taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, and the cafe is the point of reference for coffee service and any available food. Visitors should also check current operating information if they are coordinating the stop with other Milwaukee breweries, since schedules and offerings may vary by day.

Vennture Brew Co. operates a unique hybrid facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, combining a working brewery, a coffee roastery, a taproom, and a full-service cafe. Established in 2018 by founders Simon McConico and Rob Gustafson, the operation focuses on producing both craft beer and roasted coffee under one roof. The concept originated from the owners' shared interest in both beverage worlds, leading them to create a combined space that serves both products throughout the day. Since opening, Vennture has cultivated a community-focused environment, navigating its initial years of operation, including the challenges presented by the 2020 global pandemic. The facility functions as a direct-to-consumer model, utilizing the taproom and cafe for sales of its brewed beverages and roasted beans.
