Springtime Sips pours big flavors in the Dells
Sample craft beers at Newport Park during Dells On Tap’s Signature Springtime Sips, with a tasting-focused afternoon built for an easy weekend getaway.
Event details
Dells On Tap brings Wisconsin’s craft beer culture to Newport Park along Lake Delton, featuring 30+ regional breweries pouring seasonal releases, IPAs, stouts, and specialty brews. This flagship tasting event showcases New Glarus, Central Waters, Lakefront Brewery, and Spotted Cow’s brewery (plus harder-to-find taprooms from across Wisconsin) in a lakeside setting where you can sample unlimited 3-4 oz pours while live bands perform on the outdoor stage.T
ickets typically cost $40-$55 and include your tasting glass, unlimited samples, and access to food vendors selling everything from brats to tacos to cheese curds. The event runs 1-5 PM on a Saturday in May or early June, with VIP early entry options (usually $65-$75) starting at noon for first access to limited-release beers. Bring sunscreen and cash for food vendors; most don’t accept cards. Newport Park offers waterfront views and shaded areas when you need a break from tasting.
Stay in a Lake Delton or Wisconsin River rental through Lake.com and make this a full weekend. Start Saturday morning with paddleboard rentals on Mirror Lake’s calm water, where sandstone cliffs and quiet coves create perfect exploring conditions. After the beer festival, walk to Ishnala Supper Club (founded 1953), set on wooded Mirror Lake shores with outdoor terraces overlooking the water. Their relish tray, Friday fish fry, and Wisconsin-style old fashioneds pair perfectly with a sunset view. Sunday, sleep in and enjoy your rental’s lake access before heading home. The combination of craft beer culture, lakeside relaxation, and supper club tradition captures the best of Wisconsin’s Dells region.
