The editorial take
Wiedemann’s is a brewery-first pub with a deep house-brewed list spanning lagers, IPAs, and stouts, from a crisp Bohemian lager to a 12% imperial milk stout. Prices run $3.75–$8, with flights at $10. The wine and spirits lists are modest, and the non-alcoholic options are standard. Customers consistently praise the beer variety and quality.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Bohemian Special Brew, a crisp Czech-style lager at $5, then move to the Lost Hand IPA ($6.50) or the German Chocolate Cake Imperial Milk Stout ($8) for a rich finish. A Pick 4 Flight at $10 offers a broad survey of the house styles.
- Who will enjoy this place?

- When should I go?

- What should I expect to spend?
- House beers range from $3.75 to $8 per pint, with short pours at $3 and a four-sample flight at $10. Spirits and wine prices are not listed, but the beer pricing is notably accessible.

- The house-brewed program is the centerpiece, with a wide style range and a clear German influence. The German Chocolate Cake Imperial Milk Stout at 12% ABV is a standout, and the $10 flight makes it easy to explore the lineup.

How it sits with the food
The food menu includes beer-centric items like Brewhouse Pretzel with beer cheese and WiedieWurst, which pair naturally with the house lagers and stouts. The rich, sweet stout could complement the pretzel's maltiness, while a crisp lager would cut through the sausage's richness.
