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 Friday™ beer. Many have turned it into a tradition, collecting multiple years of Black Friday™ to 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.

A collectible Black Friday souvenir wrapped pint glass will be free for those who purchase a minimum of four Black Friday™ cans.

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.

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.

Cheese Curd Pull Competition

On Wednesday, October 15^th, 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 12^th 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 8^th 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 15^th 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.

Chicken N’ Waffle Curds

French Onion Curds – A cheese curd twist on Wisconsin’s favorite supper club soup. Beer and onion battered cheese curds with garlic crouton-fried breading served with a side of rich onion gravy. Pairs with their Lakefront IPA.

French Onion Curds

Caramel Apple Cheesecake Curds – Their dessert curds have become fan-favorites over the years. Fresh cheese curds tossed in a sweet batter with graham cracker breading. Topped with streusel, caramel drizzle, and served with a side of delicate vanilla cream. Pairs with their Eastside Dark Lager.

Caramel Apple Cheesecake Curds

All 4 options will be available in their standard portion size, usually good for 2 to 3 people. Guests can order all 3 of the above specialty flavors (or all 4 options) for a discount.

That’s not all. Lakefront is excited to announce the return of their Cheese Curd Pull Competition for teams of 2! Choose the “stretchiest” curd from the basket, step up to the pull markers, and test your dexterity against a field of other competitors.  The team with the longest cheese curd string from each contest will receive 2 $15 gift cards from Lakefront Brewery. Free to enter, sign up at their entrance.

It’s time to make plans, how will you be celebrating?

September 19th, 2025 Maui, Hawaiʻi — A new chapter is unfolding in Hawaiʻiʻs craft beer story as two beloved breweries — Mahalo Aleworks and Kohola Brewery — come together under one united family brand: Lahaina Brewing Co. (LBC) on September 19th, 2025. This union celebrates the legacy, resilience, and community spirit born in Lahaina and now shared across our islands.

As part of this transformation:

• Mahalo Aleworks will become LBC Upcountry Taproom in Makawao, Maui.
• Kohola Brewery will become LBC Wailea Craft Kitchen in Wailea, Maui.

Lahaina Brewing Company

Both locations will remain deeply rooted in their sense of place — embracing the distinct culture, flavor, and community that define their upcountry and coastal homes. Guests can continue to expect locally brewed craft beers, live music, community events, and philanthropic collaborations that give back to the island and its people. Lahaina Brewing Co. has always been the parent company behind Kohola Brewery— whose original brewery was tragically lost in the Lahaina fires of 2023. While the brewery names are now uniting under LBC, our five flagship canned beers- Lahaina Haze IPA, Talk Story Pale Ale, Lokahi Pilsner, Red Sand Amber Ale, and Waterman IPA- will continue to be released as the Kohola Series throughout Hawaiʻi, ensuring its story and spirit live on.

“This isn’t just a rebrand — it’s a reunion,” said Mary Anderson, Owner of Lahaina
Brewing Co. “We’ve always been connected by our love for this island and its people.
Now, by coming together as one family, we can celebrate our roots while expanding our
ability to brew incredible beer, create memorable experiences, and uplift our community
together.”

Lahaina Brewing Co. honors the original home in Lahaina while building a strong future across Hawaiʻi, united by craft, culture, and community.

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.

Happy National IPA Day, everyone!

You know, there’s no shortage of IPAs in the world. From the hazy juice bombs of New England to the palate-wrecking resin bombs of the early West Coast era, we’ve seen the IPA evolve into a hundred sub-styles and “IPA-adjacent” beers. But every once in a while, a brewery takes a classic template, sharpens the edges, and gives you something that makes you remember why you fell in love with hops in the first place.

For me this National IPA Day, that beer is Leaf Seeker IPA from Tröegs Independent Brewing.

I got to try this for the first time at Ffej of July just a few weeks ago, and went out and got me a can of it, it definitely deserved to be drank again!

(See our article: Troegs Brewing Releases Leaf Seeker IPA to Replace Hopora)

Leaf Seeker IPA by Troegs Independent Brewing

Beer Review

Leaf Seeker is replacing Hopora in the Troegs Brewing release schedule. Let’s see if it lives up to the replacement and deserves its own spot on the calendar!

First Impressions

Crack open the can, and it’s like you’ve just walked into a Pacific Northwest hop farm mid-harvest — dank pine needles under your nose, sticky citrus oils clinging in the air. The pour is a crystal-clear golden amber, with a lively white head that sticks around just long enough to leave a lace map of your drinking pace. No haze, no murk — this is a beer that wears its West Coast style on its sleeve.

Aroma & Flavor

Leaf Seeker IPA is all about balance without losing the bite. The aroma jumps with bright grapefruit, orange zest, and mango from the Citra and El Dorado hops, grounded by earthy, resinous pine from Chinook and CTZ. The first sip leans crisp and bitter up front — a throwback bitterness that makes your tongue sit up straight — but the bitterness doesn’t bulldoze. The malt backbone, courtesy of Pilsner and Vienna malts, keeps things grounded with a lightly biscuity sweetness that fades into a dry, lingering finish.

It’s 6.4% ABV, but drinks lighter, thanks to a snappy, clean body. That’s dangerous on a warm August afternoon.

Seasonal Vibes

Leaf Seeker is a fall seasonal, but it’s debuting just in time to bridge the gap between late summer patio sipping and crisp autumn evenings. I can already picture drinking this while watching the leaves just start to turn, hoodie on, fire pit crackling. The name isn’t just clever branding — it feels like the kind of beer you’d bring along on a road trip through the Appalachian backroads when the foliage hits peak.

National IPA Day Context

Today is National IPA Day, so I’ve been running through my mental catalog of IPAs I’ve loved over the years — Heady Topper, Pliny, Bell’s Two Hearted, Tröegs’ own Perpetual. Leaf Seeker doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, but it polishes it until it shines. It’s proof that a clear, bitter, West Coast IPA still has a place in 2025, even in a haze-heavy market.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve been craving a clean, hop-forward, no-nonsense IPA with just enough nuance to keep it modern, Leaf Seeker should be on your radar. On National IPA Day, it feels fitting to celebrate with a beer that respects the roots of the style while still feeling fresh and relevant.

Untappd Rating: 3.75 / 5 – Crisp, piney, citrusy, and a perfect seasonal sipper.

YAH Brew and Cartel Brewing and Blending have teamed up on the newly acquired space in Middletown – the old Tattered Flag location at 1 S Union St, Middletown, PA 17057. (See our recent article about YAH Brewing acquiring the Tattered Flag space.) (Or the Tower Investments press release on it here – YAH Brew Preser.) Cartel Brewing and Blending has also made expansion growth of their own, by announcing their second location – The Safe House – coming to Manheim, PA, opening in late Fall / Winter of 2025.

Cartel Brewing and Blending’s Social Media Announcement

The announcement came via Cartel Brewing and Blending’s social media earlier today:

FUN ANNOUNCEMENT:

For the last few months, we’ve been working on a pretty rad joint venture project with our friends at YAH Brew…

We are stoked to announce that we have the keys and begun the next stage of bringing this amazing space back to life in Middletown, PA!

We will launch a multifaceted community space that will allow us to use the brewery for both of our brands as well as our collaborative new brand and taproom. We also plan to create a cooperative production facility for other breweries to share and expand their brewing and canning needs and foresee a distillery brand arising in 2026….

All in all, we can’t be more excited about this project and partnering with Justin and Aimee from YAH Brew. More details to follow in the coming weeks…..

YAH Brew and Cartel Brewing and Blending Team Up

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 31^st through Sunday, August 10^th. 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.

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.

Leaf Seeker IPA by Troegs Brewing Company (photo courtesy of Troegs)

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.

We are working on a massive project here at The Beer Thrillers. We are creating a map of all of the breweries across the United States. State by state we are adding maps of all of the different states with every brewery in each state. (We will eventually get to the US Territories, as well as the Canadian Provinces, and possibly more countries; as well as doing some fun maps like a map of all the breweries we’ve been to, and other fun maps.) You can find the brewery maps here:

• MAPS OF BREWERIES

We are also working on a project of creating printable and downloadable PDFs and resources to be able to check and keep track of all of the breweries you’ve been to. So stay tuned for that project once we are finished with the Brewery Maps of the US States.

You can check out our different directories here: Beer Reviews, Hike Reviews, Book Reviews, Brewery News, Brewery Openings, Brewer Interviews, and Travelogues.
