Most entertaining tour we have ever been on.
On December 2nd, 1987, brothers Russ and Jim Klisch opened Lakefront Brewery and sold their first batch of Riverwest Stein Amber Lager to a neighborhood tavern in Milwaukee. We have grown to brew 46,848 barrels of beer in 2017 and distribute our products to 35 states, Canada, Ukraine, Japan, Korea, Sweden and Australia. Lakefront Brewery was the first certified organic brewery in America, the first brewery to produce a government-approved, gluten-free beer and the first indigenous beer using all Wisconsin grown ingredients. We currently produce 20 year-round and seasonal beers as well as our innovative one-off My Turn Series which gives each of our full time employees a chance to choose a style we've never brewed. Beer aside, Lakefront is also known around the country for their highly entertaining and sought-after brewery tours.

Most entertaining tour we have ever been on.
We took the Lakefront Brewery tour (bought the tickets in advance) as the end point for us on the Milwaukee River Walk. I'm not sure it was a tour as much as it was a non-stop stand-up comedy routine for forty-five minutes. Our tour guide was an actor at night playing in a Shakespeare comedy (which explained why he looked like Jerry Colona), He is very talented and kept the whole group in stiches. Very entertaining. And by the way, lots of free beer comes with the tour. I thought the pumpkin beer was excellent.

Good beer and food in an ideal setting
This place is great. If you want to be served you only have the inside beer hall as an option which was a little disappointing considering it was an incredible day outside. They do have an option where you can order food at a counter but we opted to stay inside. Everything was delicious. It was a Friday so we had the fish fry. And as everyone told us, they are known to have the best cheese curds and that was definitely confirmed.
