Lakefront Brewery

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 40,000+ barrels of beer annually and have received awards in most every renowned beer competition. Our products are now distributed to 30+ states, Canada, and Ukraine. 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 brew 20+ year-round and seasonal beers!
