- Copper State Brewing Co.
- Hinterland
- Noble Roots Brewing Company

"The spirit of brewing is alive and well in Green Bay and we’d like to formally announce that the rumors around the draft are true", said Andrew Fabry, owner of Badger State Brewing Company. "Badger State is honored to host a special collaborative beer being produced for Green Bay’s Draft in April. This beer is going to be available at the Draft City Music Fest and also local breweries around the greater Green Bay area during draft week."
