What Is Low Daily?
Low Daily is a small brewery and taproom inside an old electric railway terminal in Burlington, Wisconsin.
We make beer here, serve it here, and occasionally use the building for activities that seemed like a good idea at the time. The goal has always been good beer, an uncommon room, and useful involvement in the town around us.
The name came from an old painted advertisement on the Hotel Cecil in Los Angeles promising “low daily and weekly rates.” We took the first two words. Weekly brewery rates remain available upon request.
Abbreviated Human History
After producing approximately 25 gallons of mediocre homebrew, Tim wanted to become a professional brewer. Tim and Claire moved to San Diego in 2015 so he could attend the UC San Diego Brewing program and work at Karl Strauss Brewing Company.
They later moved to Portland, Oregon, where Tim brewed at Ecliptic Brewing under John Harris. Somewhere during this period, the idea for Low Daily became difficult to ignore.
| Period | Recorded Occurrence |
|---|---|
| ~100 YEARS AGO | The building at 700 N. Pine St. operates as an electric railway terminal. Tracks are still buried beneath the beer garden. |
| 2015 | Tim and Claire relocate to San Diego. Brewing education and professional beer employment begin. |
| LATER | Portland, Oregon. More brewing. Confidence increases to a potentially actionable level. |
| SEPT. 2020 | Low Daily opens in Tim’s hometown of Burlington, Wisconsin. |
| TODAY | You are reading the company history through the Internet. Beer production continues. |
- Make beer worthy of a trip to Burlington.
- Maintain a taproom unlike anything else in the area: energetic, inclusive, collaborative, and open to strange ideas.
- Put some of that energy back into the community through events, fundraising, volunteer work, and whatever comes next.
