As the legendary craft brewer Kirby Nelson prepared to fire up the pilot brewhouse at Wisconsin Brewing Company Park – Oconomowoc home of baseball’s Lake Country Dockhounds – to brew a classic Vienna lager, WBC President Paul Verdu and I sat in the adjacent taproom.

As Thanksgiving approaches, Americans look for ways to honor the indigenous tribes that laid the foundations of our homeland. The United States Census Bureau stated that as of 2021, there were roughly 26,000 businesses owned by American Indians and Alaska Natives in the United States. You could support the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation`s Séka Hills olive mill in Capay Valley, California, or even buy a box of chocolates from the recently acquired Bedré Fine Chocolates by the Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma. If you want to support a business noted as first of its kind though, look to none other than Copper Crow Distillery in Bayfield, Wisconsin...

Great Dane Pub & Brewing Co. running into supply chain issues in gearing up for Japan expansion
Madison-based Great Dane Pub & Brewing Company is encountering supply chain-related delays and higher costs as it gears up to open a new brewery in Japan next year.
