What has become tradition, hundreds of guests are welcomed by the beloved local brewery, looking to take home four different varieties of their rare liquid, available for one day only.

Black Friday Snakes – 2025

A yearlong planning process culminates into one of the biggest beer release events in Southeast Wisconsin, Lakefront Brewery’s Black Friday.

“We typically start discussing next year’s Black Friday beer pretty shortly after the current year”, says Luther Paul, Lakefront’s Head Brewer, “with these beers needing several months to age properly in barrels, it’s a year-round labor of love creating the finest liquid we can for those making the trek to see us that day.”

 

Attendees line up as early as the night before to ensure a chance at their desired allotment of Black Fridaybeer. Many have turned it into a tradition, collecting multiple years of Black Fridayto share with friends and family over the holidays and beyond. Lakefront will be offering their famous Black Friday Burrito and coffee out of their food truck starting at 6am. Lakefront Brewery co-founders Russ and Jim Klisch will open their doors at 8am when sales begin. “It’s one of my favorite moments of the year”, says Brewery President Russ Klisch, “the excitement outside our doors is undeniable, you have to experience it”.

Warm Hearts Coat Drive

Lakefront will be offering up the following four varieties of their rare Black Friday beer to take home:

2025 Black Friday™ Imperial Stout Aged in Great Lakes Distillery’s Still & Oak Black Friday Straight Whiskey Barrels. Sold for $20 each plus tax.

 

2025 Black Friday™ Triple Black IPA Dry-Hopped with Cascade, Citra, Centennial, and Chinook Hops. Sold for $15 each plus tax.

 

2025 Black Friday™ Wheatwine Ale Aged in Brandy Barrels. Sold for $20 each plus tax.


2025 Black Friday™ Imperial Coffee & Cacao Nib Stout
 Aged in Great Lakes Distillery’s Still & Oak Black Friday Straight Whiskey Barrels. Sold for $25 each plus tax.

 

All varieties will be packaged in colorful 19.2 oz. cans and placed in dynamic individual boxes with no limit to the amount an individual can purchase. Every 2025 Black Friday beer will be available to try at the bar while supplies last. Our gift shop inside will be open with exclusive Black Friday items and other warm-weather garb if your preparations aren’t up to snuff.

For the third year in a row, Lakefront is excited to announce the return of the Warm Hearts Community Coat Drive benefiting students of George Washington Carver Elementary. Guests who donate a laundered, gently used coat suitable for youth ages 3 to 14 years will receive one bottle/can of a retro Black Friday™. Guests may donate additional coats with a maximum of 2 bottles/cans per donor over 21. Coats will be accepted conditionally at Lakefront Brewery’s discretion to ensure immediate wearability. They also encourage donors to bring colorful, youth-appropriate items, especially coats for girls and young teen women, giving students the dignity of choice. Gloves, hats, and other winter gear will gladly be accepted as well. All week long, guests can also round up their bill to donate to the school.

LAKEFRONT BREWERY FRIED UP BIG NUMBERS FOR NATIONAL CHEESE CURD DAY https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/10/16/lakefront-brewery-fried-up-big-numbers-for-national-cheese-curd-day/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=lakefront-brewery-fried-up-big-numbers-for-national-cheese-curd-day Fri, 17 Oct 2025 00:24:29 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16673 LAKEFRONT BREWERY FRIED UP BIG NUMBERS FOR NATIONAL CHEESE CURD DAY

Patrons took full advantage of the cheesiest day of the year at Lakefront Brewery as they celebrated their crown jewel, Wisconsin fresh, fried cheese curds.

(See article: CHEESE CURD SLINGIN’ EXPERTS, LAKEFRONT BREWERY, PREPARE TO CELEBRATE ANOTHER NATIONAL CHEESE CURD DAY)

Cheese Curd Pull Competition

On Wednesday, October 15th, from 2pm to 9pm, Lakefront Brewery welcomed hundreds of cheese curd fanatics looking to commemorate the big day. Tying in their Curd of the Month specialty flavor offerings, 3 different specialty curds made their debut: Chicken N’ Waffle, French Onion, and Caramel Apple Cheesecake. With each flavor going head-to-head, Chicken N’ Waffle inched out French Onion by 7 orders with a total of 133 baskets. Due to their shared popularity, Lakefront is excited to announce that both flavors will be included in their 2026 Curd of the Month calendar! If you couldn’t make it down to their Beer Hall, look for those two flavors in 2026. All 12 Curd of the Month flavors for 2026 will be announced soon.

Curd Card

National Cheese Curd Day also served as the launch of Lakefront’s new Curd Card. Get 11 orders of their delicious fried cheese curds and get the 12th one for free. Become a Curd Card-Carrying Member the next time you need your cheese curd fix at the Beer Hall.

 

As promised, the Cheese Curd Pull Competition was fierce. Several times throughout the day, up to 10 teams of 2 lined up and attempted to pull apart a fluffy curd to the longest length they could. Team Curd Pullers set the record with a monstrous 4-foot pull. The time to start practicing for next year is now. Winners of each competition took home two $15 gift cards to Lakefront Brewery.

Freshly Fried Curds

After their Beer Hall kitchen cranked out over 1 order of curds per minute totaling roughly 235 pounds of fried cheese curds for the day, Lakefront Brewery wants to thank the community for showing up and showing out for National Cheese Curd Day. Wisconsinites across the state would be proud.

For the 8th year in a row, the local curd-frying masters, who continue to gain notoriety for their fried cheese curds, will be celebrating with specialty curd flavors and a free Cheese Curd Pull Competition.

Curd Day 2025

MILWAUKEE (September 24th, 2025) – The importance of the cheese curd to the people of Wisconsin cannot be understated. They can be found in just about every commercial kitchen across the state. Since 2013, Lakefront Brewery has been producing some of the most award-winning fried cheese curds in the Midwest, churning out over 60,000 orders in a calendar year. Join Lakefront in celebrating National Cheese Curd Day on Wednesday, October 15th from 2pm to 9pm.

 

Alongside their gold-standard beer-battered curds with garlic ranch, Lakefront has been offering a Cheese Curd of the Month. Every month, a new specialty flavored curd is available to order from their kitchen. In addition to their beer-battered favorites, on Curd Day, Lakefront will also be offering 3 specialty flavors as potential Curd of the Month options in 2026. Help them decide which ones need an encore!

 

Chicken N’ Waffle Curds – A breakfast-inspired item everyone can get behind. Sweet waffle-battered and fried with 11 secret savory spices, then served with a ribbon of spicy maple bacon syrup. Pairs with their Riverwest Stein Amber Lager.

LAKEFRONT BREWERY TEAMS UP WITH BADGER STATE BREWING TO DELIVER A NEW TAKE ON GREEN BAY’S GOLD PACKAGE https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/08/12/lakefront-brewery-teams-up-with-badger-state-brewing-to-deliver-a-new-take-on-green-bays-gold-package/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=lakefront-brewery-teams-up-with-badger-state-brewing-to-deliver-a-new-take-on-green-bays-gold-package Wed, 13 Aug 2025 01:40:17 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16570 LAKEFRONT BREWERY TEAMS UP WITH BADGER STATE BREWING TO DELIVER A NEW TAKE ON GREEN BAY’S GOLD PACKAGE

After a successful release last year, both breweries look forward to back-to-back wins. This year’s Gold Package collaboration is a Golden Helles Lager brewed at Lakefront’s facility in Milwaukee.

Gold Package

Two breweries with matching reputations for great beer have teamed up once again. Aptly named after Green Bay season ticket holders primarily based in Milwaukee, Gold Package will be available in both kegs and 6-packs across Wisconsin with an emphasis in the Milwaukee and Green Bay markets.

 

“I knew Kevin Kuzlik since before he joined Badger State as their Director of Sales, so I reached out as soon as I knew he landed in Green Bay”, says AJ Belling, Northern Wisconsin Sales Rep for Lakefront Brewery, “this collaboration is all about great friendships, quality beer, and showcasing our collective brewing expertise.” “Our former Lead Brewer, Ryan Hillesland, is now the Head Brewer over there, which gave us all the more reason to partner with our friends up north,” says Belling.

The Gold Package Six Pack

“It is quite an honor for us to collaborate with Lakefront Brewery again this year on Gold Package”, says Kuzlik of the Green Bay brewery, “last year we went through 21,000 cans and 150 kegs of it. I can’t wait for beer drinkers across the state to get their hands on this year’s version!”

 

Just in time for preseason, Gold Package was brewed with Pilsner, Light Munich, and Vienna malts making it a light-bodied, easy-drinking, golden brew rich in flavors of freshly baked bread and honey, with a crisp lager finish. Enjoy this one all season long while supplies last, available wherever you get your Badger State or Lakefront fix in Wisconsin.

A can of the Gold Package

Lakefront Brewery, Inc. is an independent craft brewery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin founded by brothers Jim and Russ Klisch in 1987 when they scaled up their homebrew equipment to a 7-barrel brewhouse. They have grown to produce over 20 full-scale offerings yearly including Riverwest Stein Amber Lager, Hazy Rabbit IPA, Dive Beer Milwaukee Lager, and New Grist Gluten-Free Pilsner, the first Certified Gluten-Free beer in America.

Lakefront Brewery is committed to using business as a force for good by achieving the high social and environmental standards verified through B Corp™ certification. Experience Milwaukee’s brewing legacy by taking their award-winning brewery tour and indulge in top-notch traditional Bavarian and Midwestern fare at Lakefront Brewery Beer Hall, one of Milwaukee’s premier tourist destinations.

Longtime State Fair aficionados, Benno’s Concessions, are teaming up with Milwaukee mainstay, Lakefront Brewery, to bring you your new favorite State Fair hangout, the “Lakefront Brewery Biergarten”.

Lakefront Brewery Biergarten

Located in the heart of the park, not far from the Bank Five Nine Amphitheater, the Lakefront Brewery Biergarten will be serving up their refreshing beers, slushies, cocktails, and mocktails. You can rely on a Lakefront lineup featuring Riverwest Stein, IPA, Hazy Rabbit, Dive Beer, Fruit Wagon, Oktoberfest, as well as their gluten-free New Grist Pilsner and New Grist Gosa Rita in cans.

 

“It’s always great to be represented at the best State Fair in the country and partnering with such an experienced State Fair crew like Benno’s”, says Russ Klisch, Owner of Lakefront Brewery.

 

While Benno’s has poured Lakefront products at the fair in the past, this will be the first year partnering on a stand together. “We’re beyond excited to partner with Lakefront Brewery at our new Lakefront Biergarten location at the Wisconsin State Fair”, says Jacob Hicks, Marketing and Promotions Manager for Benno’s Concessions, “both Benno’s and Lakefront are proud family-founded businesses with deep Milwaukee roots. It means a lot to us to come together to create something special for fairgoers; a true hometown collaboration built on great beer and great people.”

 

It’s not just beer here. Find classic cocktails like Bloody Marys, Old Fashioneds, and Margaritas. Frozen cocktails like the Lakefront Fruit Wagon Slush, Cold Fashioned, and Strawberry Daiquiri. There will also be non-alcoholic options with a selection of mocktails, Extended Play IPA NA, and Eastside Dark NA from Lakefront Brewery.

Lakefront Biergarten on the Map

A stone’s throw from the amphitheater, plenty of bar games to bring the fun, and a slew of refreshing beverages make this the perfect atmosphere to take in the sights and sounds of the fair. The Wisconsin State Fair runs from Thursday, July 31st through Sunday, August 10th. Learn more about Lakefront Brewery by following them on social media or visiting them at lakefrontbrewery.com. Follow @LakefrontBiergartenWIStateFair on Instagram and Lakefront Biergarten at WI State Fair on Facebook to stay in touch with the Benno’s team.

Leaf Seeker IPA: Tröegs Brewing’s Bold New West Coast-Style Seasonal Beer https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/07/15/leaf-seeker-ipa-troegs-brewings-bold-new-west-coast-style-seasonal-beer/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=leaf-seeker-ipa-troegs-brewings-bold-new-west-coast-style-seasonal-beer Tue, 15 Jul 2025 21:20:22 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16562 Leaf Seeker IPA: Tröegs Brewing’s Bold New West Coast-Style Seasonal Beer

Tröegs Independent Brewing is excited to unveil its latest seasonal release: Leaf Seeker IPA. This West Coast-style IPA joins their esteemed rotating seasonal lineup, alongside fan favorites like Field Study and Blizzard of Hops.

Leaf Seeker is a nod to the bold, hop-forward beers that defined the early days of the craft beer revolution. No strangers to the style, Tröegs already boasts Pennsylvania’s best-selling craft brand with Perpetual IPA.

West Coast IPAs are experiencing a recent renaissance of sorts, with Leaf Seeker, we wanted to connect the dots between those big, hoppy IPAs from California and Colorado with our own East Coast culture.

– says John Trogner, co-founding brother and brewmaster at Tröegs.

As with many Tröegs brews, the journey of Leaf Seeker began in the hop-rich fields of the Yakima Valley in the Pacific Northwest. Leaf Seeker IPA started off as Scratch 508, then became Scratch 515, all on its way to becoming Leaf Seeker.

We go to the Yakima Valley every year to make sure we get the right hops. To me, it’s the most important ingredient selection we do. We have so many hop-forward beers, so the stakes are high.

– John Trogner

This year’s harvest brought an abundance of Citra, Chinook, and El Dorado hops, giving Leaf Seeker IPA its signature notes of sticky citrus, dank pine, and tropical fruit. Complemented by a backbone of pilsner and Vienna malts, this IPA strikes the perfect balance at 6.4% ABV, delivering just the right amount of bitterness to accompany fall’s changing leaves.

Availability

Leaf Seeker West Coast-style IPA is available on draft and in 12-oz. bottles and cans throughout Tröegs’ distribution network.

It also kicks off the brewery’s fall Perpetual Exploration rotating variety pack, featuring:

  • Perpetual IPA

  • Graffiti Highway IPA

  • Leaf Seeker IPA

  • Forthcoming Oktoberfest Lager

Want to find Tröegs beers near you?

Check out the Tröegs Brew Finder to locate Leaf Seeker and other seasonal favorites in your area.

Use our Brew Finder to locate Leaf Seeker right now on draft and in 12-oz. bottles and cans everywhere our beer is sold.

And heads up! Leaf Seeker precedes the release of our refreshed Perpetual Exploration variety pack for the fall season. Each 12-pack features three cans each of Perpetual IPA, Graffiti Highway IPA, Leaf Seeker, and our forthcoming Oktoberfest Lager.

Lakefront Brewery will host “Brawl in the Beer Hall II: Pour Decisions” featuring former WWE Superstar Zack Ryder (Matt Cardona).

Brawl in the Beer Hall II poster

Lakefront Brewery, known for their lively brewery tours, is bringing out the entertainment in a different way, with a live professional wrestling event. “Brawl in the Beer Hall II: Pour Decisions” will occur on Sunday, October 5th with doors at 5pm and bell time at 7pm. “We’re still reminiscing over last year’s inaugural event”, says Mike Walker, one of the Lakefront representatives who helped bring the event in, “we’ve never seen our Beer Hall as electric as we did that night. We had wrestlers dueling it out on top of our bar, jumping out of our giant beer mug, it was such a fun night”.

 

From the creators of Warrior Wrestling, one of the nation’s premier independent pro wrestling promotions, you’ll witness a full-scale professional wrestling show inside the brewery’s historic cream city brick building. One of the top independent wrestlers, Matt Cardona (WWE’s Zack Ryder), will Main Event the show, Mad Dog Connelly will challenge Beastman to his infamous Dog Collar Match, and the Tag Team Match that brought down the house in 2024 returns for a best of 3 falls clash. Warrior Wrestling confirmed that additional AEW talent will be announced.

 

“The first Brawl in the Beer Hall was an unbelievable atmosphere for wrestling fans and newcomers”, says Steve Tortorello, the Creator and Operating Director of Warrior Wrestling, “Lakefront Brewery is the ideal venue for us; we can’t wait to come back!”

 

Lakefront will open at 5pm with a special dinner menu for all ticket purchasers featuring some fan favorites alongside a wide variety of beverages, including their award-winning beer, wine, and soda.

A NEW INTIMATE CONCERT SERIES, CURRENT SOUNDS, IS COMING TO LAKEFRONT BREWERY FOR PATIO SEASON https://thebeerthrillers.com/2025/05/22/a-new-intimate-concert-series-current-sounds-is-coming-to-lakefront-brewery-for-patio-season/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=a-new-intimate-concert-series-current-sounds-is-coming-to-lakefront-brewery-for-patio-season Fri, 23 May 2025 02:39:33 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=16416 A NEW INTIMATE CONCERT SERIES, CURRENT SOUNDS, IS COMING TO LAKEFRONT BREWERY FOR PATIO SEASON

Starting this weekend, Lakefront Brewery welcomes some of the best local musicians for stripped-down performances on their perfectly-suited patio space.

Current Sounds

It’s been 3 years since Lakefront completed work on their award-winning patio renovation and they’re excited to continue to find ways to celebrate it. Current Sounds is a brand new music series that will feature unique performances from musical artists ready to pull back the curtain and provide a special experience for Lakefront’s patio guests.

 

“There is a wide variety of eclectic musicians that we’re lucky to have”, says Sean Anderson, local musician and Lakefront Brewery tour guide who handles all music booking for the brewery. “It was fun to offer such a serene and special spot for the artists to get creative and in some cases, push the boundaries of the shows they’re used to playing”.

 

Current Sounds is free to attend and will occur every Saturday from 2pm to 4pm starting this Saturday May 24th through August 30th, with two special Sunday performances: this weekend ahead of Memorial Day, and Labor Day weekend. Friday performances will be from 3pm to 5pm and begin on June 13th. All Friday performances are a part of It’s Alive presented by the Milwaukee Theater District.

 

Grab some award-winning beer, a basket of their famous cheese curds, relax along the river, and take in the Current Sounds.
