What Food and Drink Specials Does Water Street Brewery Offer?

Water Street Brewery runs three recurring food and drink specials across its Oak Creek, Delafield, and Grafton locations: a Brewmaster's Lunch Break Tuesday–Thursday from 11am–3pm, a Friday Fish Fry every Friday, and weekend brunch on Saturdays (11am–3pm) and Sundays (10am–3pm). It also sells canned six-packs of its own beer to take home for $9.99. The sections below cover what each special includes and how to check current details before you go.

Brewmaster's Lunch Break (Tuesday–Thursday, 11am–3pm)

Available at all three locations — Grafton, Oak Creek, and Delafield — this weekday lunch window features specialty items alongside the regular menu. The brewery notes that the specific specialty items are listed on the "Green Sheet" in the menu section, so the lineup can change. If you're planning a weekday lunch around a particular dish, check the menu section first rather than assuming a fixed list.

Friday Fish Fry (Every Friday, All Locations)

Every Friday, all three locations serve a fish fry with three choices:

• Cod
• Perch
• Blackened whitefish

Because it runs at every location on the same day, this is the most consistent weekly special if you're choosing between the three brewpubs.

Weekend Brunch (Saturday 11am–3pm, Sunday 10am–3pm)

Brunch is served every Saturday from 11am–3pm and Sunday from 10am–3pm, with a dedicated brunch menu. Note the different start times: Saturday begins at 11am, Sunday at 10am. A Yelp reviewer (Clair P) described a Sunday brunch visit as "good and not too busy," with a menu where "everything sounded so good it was hard to choose" — useful if you're weighing whether to go earlier on Sunday versus the Saturday window.

Beer to Take Home

Six-packs are available for $9.99, specifically Oktoberfest or Honey Lager Light, brewed and canned at the Oak Creek location. This is the clearest take-home option documented on the site; other year-round or seasonal beers aren't listed with prices here, so treat the six-pack offer as the confirmed retail option rather than a full packaged-beer catalog.

What Reviewers Say About the Food

Yelp reviews referenced on the site highlight a few recurring favorites:

• Pretzels — one reviewer (Dylan C) noted an order came with "3 full pretzels" and called the beer sauce "incredible."
• French onion soup — same reviewer said it "will knock your socks off."
• Burgers and cheese curds — cited by Sadie S as favorites, with praise for the range of options and spacing during COVID.

These are individual impressions, not a menu guarantee, but they point to appetizers and pub staples as the items most often mentioned.

How to Confirm Before You Go

Special items rotate, so the practical steps are:

1. Check the menu section on the site for the current Green Sheet (which lists Brewmaster's Lunch Break specialty items).
2. Confirm the brunch menu if you're going Saturday or Sunday, since it differs from the regular menu.
3. For the fish fry, the three fish choices (cod, perch, blackened whitefish) are stated for all locations — no need to call ahead for the options, though availability can vary by location.

Quick Reference

If your goal is a specific dish, the lunch and brunch menus are the two that change, so verify those first; the fish fry and six-pack offers are the most stable.
