Local distillers, brewers take note as non-alcoholic drink sales soar

Milwaukee-based Great Lakes Distillery is among the Wisconsin based alcohol producers to have recently launched a non-alcoholic spirit.

|
 While some communities still wait for
their first brew pub or brewery, the craft beer scene in Lake Mills will
soon be expanding.

|
 Milwaukee’s Mike Lukaszewicz has published a most unusual children’s book, Daddy Likes Beer. He can explain it himself at the Feb. 19 launch party at Third Space, but here’s what he told me.  “I’m not sure I can say exactly what the inspiration was for the book. I read a lot of bedtime stories to my girls when they were tiny things. I was often drinking a beer at the time or excited about drinking a beer after they went to bed,” he said. “I remember being frustrated by the unnecessary length and preachiness of a lot of children`s picture books, which probably led me to (vainly) think that I could do it better... ...more
