Leinenkugel’s is a Wisconsin brewery with six generations of family history that’s been brewing beer for almost 150 years. It was purchased by the Miller Brewing company in 1988 and is now part of the Molson Coors family of beers.And even though it is now a Big Beer property Leinenkugel’s has retained its regional Wisconsin identity and has rabid following that love what they do. So the announcement that the Chippewa Falls brewery was planning to build a small batch brewery inside Milwaukee Brewers Ballpark was big news.
The J. Leinenkugel’s Barrel Yard at American Family Field will feature fans’ favorite Leinenkugel’s beers, as well as small-batch beers, at a full-service bar and restaurant space overlooking left field....

Madison-area craft beers to seek out this holiday season
Elves are not known to be big beer drinkers, but have you ever wondered
how they might run a brewery, especially during the Christmas season?
That’s what is happening at the Grumpy Troll in Mount Horeb. From now through the end of the month, the brew pub has turned over its upstairs bar to Buddy the Elf, the innocent, naive and optimistic character from the 2003 movie Elf,
starring Will Farrell.
Owner Robin Pharo jokes that the second floor of
the restaurant has become “Buddy’s Brew Pub,” which sports the look of
an old time department store at Christmas, complete with hanging
snowflakes, paper chains, wreaths, evergreen trees and lights. Pharo has
also come up with a Buddy-approved menu that covers the four main food
groups for elves: candy, candy canes, candy corn and syrup. More than a
half-dozen special dishes, including Buddy’s breakfast pasta (with
spaghetti covered in maple syrup and bacon), the Nutty Elf Pizza (with
Nutella, apple pie filling, caramel sauce and sprinkles), and a
decorate-your-own cookie kit. The latter is ideal for kids, who get a
sugar cookie and can add their own choice of toppings like frosting,
sprinkles and maple syrup. There are also regular food items for those
not looking for the sugar-high. Buddy’s Brewpub (aka the upstairs bar)
is open on weekends for both walk-ins and reservations. Mondays through
Thursdays, reservations are required....
Ken Notes: Other great ideas and links in the story...
At the age of 17, Dick Leinenkugel was busy giving tours of the Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company in Chippewa Falls.“That’s where I started,” he said. “It’s kind of funny that now, decades later, that’s where I end, too.”
Dick, president of the Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company, led his last brewery tour on Saturday. He’s getting ready to retire. A group of 11 people were honored to be on that last tour, which started at Leinie Lodge and went through the various buildings on Leinenkugel’s property. Tour members got to go behind the scenes, to places at the brewery compound that are typically off-limits to visitors...
Ken Notes: A MUST read. We need to keep Leinenkugel a Wisconsin original, I know they are owned by Molson Coors but so far they have maintained a bit of independence, we need to keep it that way (I miss Old Style, Pabst, Schlitz, Blatz). All the best Dick, long live Leinie...

....Hinterland Tide Crusher
"I got the opportunity to visit Yakima, Washington, earlier this fall, and rice lagers are kind of a big deal on the West Coast right now. But no one in Wisconsin seems to be doing them quite yet... until now. Hold up. Rice lager? That’s like Budweiser, right? Yup, that’s correct. But adjunct lagers using rice, including Japanese lagers, are making the full circle back to craft brewing. Originally, Budweiser began using rice in their American lager to create a lighter product that was more drinkable in large quantities, and likely cheaper than using all barley. Craft breweries today are using rice in their mashes for the unique character it provides the finished product; crispness, mouthfeel, flavor and varying levels of sweetness or ultra dryness depending on attenuation. Hinterland paired their rice mash with floral yeast and hops to create a light, refreshing and adventurous beer." ...ABV: 4.5%
