The Joseph Huber Brewing Company is a microbrewery based in Monroe, Wisconsin. Like many Wisconsin breweries, the Joseph Huber Brewing Company uses traditional German techniques to produce stronger-flavored, more continental brews. They claim to use about 10% more malt and 50% more hops than most domestic brews, and no artificial coloring.
The brewery offers a tour and gift shop, as well as an online tour and brewery timeline.
Beginning in 2005, the brewery has hosted a blues festival called "Berghoff & Blues".
