Frank J. Hess and Sons Cooperage
In
1900, Henry Fauerbach convinced Frank to relocate his operation to
Madison Wisconsin. Hess Cooperage was the longest and last running oak
beer barrel cooperage in the US.
The
cooperage, at 1952 Atwood Ave. in Schenk's Corners, manufactured and
repaired beer, wine and whiskey barrels, half-barrels, quarter-barrels and
four-gallon pony kegs for Madison’s Fauerbach and Hausmann Breweries,
the old Breckheimer Brewing Co. on King Street, Brunkow and Mueller at
Pheasant Branch, Stork Brewery in Slinger, Haertel Brewery in Portage and
other breweries in Baraboo, Monroe, Potosi, Rhinelander, Sauk City,
Columbus, Watertown, Janesville, Duluth, Sioux City, Baltimore,
New York and elsewhere.

The Angelic Brewing Company
Paying
homage to the original occupants of what is now the Angelic Brewing
Company, the Hausmann Pale Ale makes its comeback on their taps. The pale
has a clean straw color with a smaller off white head. Mild aromas of
pale malt and mild hopsack. Fairly thick in feel for appearance. Light
sweet malt start with a lightly acidic hops backdrop. Some light fruit
amid the frey. A standard American golden ale.
