Welcome to Cocoon Brewing, a delightful brewery located in De Pere, Wisconsin, that offers a unique experience for food and beer enthusiasts. This establishment not only provides a range of tasty beverages but also boasts a menu filled with delectable dishes that will tantalize your taste buds.
As a food reviewer, I had the opportunity to explore the offerings at Cocoon Brewing, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The appetizers, such as the Baked Feta with herb marinated cucumbers and green olives, and the Black Garlic Bread, were bursting with flavor and served with house-made toasted bread that was simply divine.
When it comes to pizza, Cocoon Brewing does not disappoint. The Margherita pizza, topped with red sauce, mozzarella, grana padano, basil, and olive oil, was a perfect combination of classic flavors. The Sausage and Pepper pizza, with rosa sauce, roasted bell peppers and onions, sausage, and crushed calabrian chili, offered a tantalizing mix of savory and spicy notes.
Their Risotto Bowls are also a must-try, with options like the Burrata and Prosciutto, the White Mushroom, and the Buffalo Chicken, each showcasing unique and delicious flavor profiles.
But the standout for me was the Brussel Sprout Pizza, featuring roasted garlic white sauce, brussel sprouts, mozzarella, crumbled goat cheese, Nueske's cherrywood bacon, and pomegranate. The combination of flavors and textures in this pizza was truly exceptional.
Aside from the food, Cocoon Brewing's atmosphere is inviting and family-friendly, with ample seating both inside and outside, including cozy couches and outdoor games. They even have individual cabin-style buildings called Cocoons that can be reserved for a unique dining experience.
Overall, my experience at Cocoon Brewing was outstanding. From the friendly service to the mouthwatering dishes and refreshing beverages, this brewery has truly set itself apart. Whether you're looking for a casual meal with friends or a fun family outing, Cocoon Brewing is definitely worth a visit.

What a cool place!! Stunning interior. The pizza was spectacular and the pickle beer I tried was amazing. The service was friendly and eager to help. I will be coming back the next time I get up to Green Bay!

Cocoon Brewing is amazing. It's one of those places that I wish I could pick up and relocate to where I live, so that I could visit it all the time. Alas, I only got to visit Cocoon while I was in Green Bay for a few days. But this place left a big impression on me. I don't know where to start, but I guess we'll start with the food. They mostly just serve brick-fired pizzas here, Neapolitan style, that come out with a chewy, slightly charred crust. They are perfection. I recommend getting the pepperoni pizza, which includes a drizzle of hot honey. They also serve little nibbly things, like olives, charcuterie and bread. The beer is great, too. I got a couple of different kinds (whee!), and the one I remember loving is the Bramble On, a fruity sour beer that tastes of berries and pie crust. They had me at pie! And it does have notes of pie, which is kind of bizarre and lovely. Cocoon Brewing is super family-friendly. There are games to play inside, big tables so you can eat family-style, couches to lounge around in, yard games outside, and lots of space outside for kids to run around. One of the cool and unusual things about this place is that you can reserve one of their "Cocoons": individual cabin-style buildings adjacent to the tap room and restaurant. Each Cocoon is decorated differently, and each has things like streaming TVs, wifi, and little touches like record players and games. The Cocoons are a nice place to hang out with friends or rent for a work event. I love everything about Cocoon Brewing, and it's definitely on my list of go-to places the next time I'm in the Green Bay area.

Gorgeous, with unbelievable outdoor seat, prompt service, and OUTSTANDING pizzas!! Their seasonal cocktail and food rotation is beyond reproach, and their dog-friendly and family-friendly approach set them apart!

Finally came around to trying the pizza, OMG this bahn mi pizza is a must try! There's definitley not enough meat but the flavor is there! I would go just for this!

Wow! This was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday! Monday night is Trivia night, which we were not prepared for, but we still found a table for 6. Since this was our first visit, we were not familiar with the layout (order drinks at the bar, order food from the QR code on tables and pick up food from the window). It was a little confusing, but we figured it out! We thoroughly enjoyed our food and the drinks. I would love a little more variation in the beer, but thankfully I found something that was yummy. We LOVED our appetizers! We shared everything so we got to sample many different things and I am so glad that we did! The Black Garlic Cheese Bread was incredibly delicious and paired nicely with the marinara sauce and the ranch. It was warm and full of flavor and perfect for a winter night! The breadsticks were just as yummy and paired nicely with hummus, marinara, ranch, and the chili sauce. The hummus was delicious, too! It is served with breadsticks and thinly sliced cucumbers - it was full of flavor and delicious. The Risotto Bowl with the Carne Asada pizza toppings was yummy, full of flavor and definitely made us look forward to the Carne Asada pizza! While we are not gluten free, it's a fun option for people who cannot eat pizza and it's just as yummy! And, we love risotto, so it was an easy choice. We sampled five different pizzas and LOVED them! The Sausage Pizza is not overpowering at all, with a light Italian sausage flavor. However, if you like Sausage Pizza and don't mind some flavors - try the Sausage & Peppers Pizza. It was full of flavor and just a hint of heat from the pepper sauce, but also featured roasted red peppers. This was probably my favorite because of the heat and spice! The Margherita Pizza was very good and we wished it had a little bit more basil, but would definitely recommend. The Carne Asada pizza was a seasonal offering and it was just as delicious in pizza form as it was in the risotto bowl. We also had a build your own Pepperoni Pizza that was perfect for the teenage girls in our group (who didn't want the Classic Pepperoni Pizza that comes with hot honey on top!)! For beer, we sampled only two - the Michoacan, a mexican lager - which was delicious! Really wanted to try the amber, Red Lacewing... hopefully next time. Also, really want to come back in the warm weather to explore their outdoor area! This is by far my favorite breweries in the local area. Can't wait to come back!

If I could give this place more stars, I would! Hands down, no content, the BEST overall brewery in the Green Bay Area. The drinks. They have a good tap menu with a nice selection of beers - especially if you like an IPA. Not only do they have tap beers, they have a bar with craft cocktails. Not to mention they have other beers, bottles, cans, seltzers, gluten free options as well. Definitely something for every taste! The food. Finding a brewery that serves their own good food is hard to come by. Especially in the area. They have a pizza oven!! Like homemade, Neapolitan style pizzas that are DELICIOUS! If you're gluten free, no problem - you can get any of their pizzas made in risotto. And they are amazing, as well! They have some other food, too. The space. My absolute favorite space - both inside and outside! Their main, inside space is large, very open, high ceilings, and super cute. Kind of a retro vibe. Lots of seating - bar stools type, tables with chairs, comfy couches, all the things! They have a fireplace, so it's cozy in the winter months. And they have an abundance of games and such for everyone to play. They have a huge outdoor space - with bonfires, seating, tables, grass for games, and again, all the things! And my absolute favorite? Their COCOONS! They have several cocoons for rent - each with their own theme, private space, WiFi, music, TV, etc. They comfortably fit 12 people each! Absolutely a must! Cannot recommend this place enough!

If you're looking for delicious pizza and willing to pay a bit more than a Papa Murphy's or Dominos, these pizzas are a treat (pizza price point approx $20 a pie). We ordered 3 pies for 6 adults and all walked away full (but with no leftovers). Our faves of the three were the mushroom and pepperoni. The sausage and pepper surprisingly had some heat, making it too spicy for one in our party. It was self service but food came out super quick. The ambiance was what to be expected for a brewery - fun and lively, but not a good place for a quiet intimate conversation! Would recommend! Great addition to De Pere!

Love love love! Great Brewery to check out & have a beer with some friends. They have many great options for non-beer drinkers as well! The decor & vibe was super cute, casual and upbeat; friendly workers and just a fun place to visit. A few guests also brought their children which is nice when mommy needs a drink lol. I was super impressed with their food menu, simple and delicious. Their brick oven for cooking pizzas gives the dough amazing flavor...one of the best pizzas I've had in a long time! The hummus and breadsticks were very good, I'm guessing the same dough as their pizzas - which I LOVED. Loved the presentation of their charcuterie, although some of the cheeses included were a little too adventurous for me :) Looking forward to coming back again!!
