Well worth the drive for Madisonians. The brewery has a nice little bar inside and, in the summers, a beer garden outside. The brewery also has something else inside: lots of really, really good beer. If you're a fan of the Capitol Brewery, this is a religious pilgrimage. There's a gift shop and a tour (which should be taken, camera in hand). Standing in the warehouse surrounded by kegs stacked to the ceiling is a near-religious experience.
