What does NORTHWOODS BREW PUB Own?
Northwoods Brewpub was founded in Eau Claire, Wisconsin in 1997 by Jerry Bechard. Bechard was a former police officer who had been a homebrewer since 1985. In 1988, he moved to Wisconsin to purchase the Norske Nook restaurant and bakery, and later expanded to add the brewpub to his portfolio. In 2015, Northwoods moved to a new location in Osseo, Wisconsin. Bechard later sold Northwoods to General Manager Sean Annis, who then opened a second Northwoods location in Cumberland, Wisconsin.
