What you need to know about Door County`s newest craft brewery, Sway Brewing and Blending

BAILEYS HARBOR - When it comes to Door County`s newest craft brewery, Sway Brewing and Blending, the hop doesn`t fall too far from the plant. 

Matt Sampson, the brewery`s founder and head brewer, not only ferments and serves beer from the location that was the original home of Door County Brewing but he honed his brewing skills at Hacienda Beer Co. Both share taproom and brewing space just down the road.

Broadly speaking, Sampson said he`ll brew a wide range of easy-drinking beers that pair well with Door County activities.

"Something (visitors) can relax and enjoy without bogging them down or wrecking their palate," he said....

Ultimate 6er | WBC Winners from Wisconsin

Cheese, brats, football, beer… with a claim-to-fame list like this, it’s no wonder that breweries in Wisconsin took home six medals at the 2022 World Beer Cup. The WBC coincides with the Craft Brewers Conference, which took place in Minneapolis May 3-5.

After a rigorous judging process, three medals were awarded in each of 103 categories. The tables included classics like American lagers to porters and stouts all the way to unusual styles such as chili beers, gluten free beers and other “experimental” beers. This year, there were 10,542 entries in the competition, representing 2,493 breweries from 57 countries. Divide those by 226 highly-trained sensory judges… what a competition!...

Funk Factory branches out

The geuzeria gets a license for mead, One Barrel turns 10 and more beer news

Funk Factory Geuzeria is branching out from its nationally recognized lambic-inspired and mixed-culture sour beers. It recently received approval for a change in its federal alcohol license that will allow it to produce cider, mead and wine. “We do a lot of fruit fermentations with our sour beers. This is something new, exciting and in a different realm of the natural fermentation world,” says Kyle Metz, Funk Factory’s head of operations. Funk Factory isn’t leaving its sours behind, says Metz. “This is just a way to create new flavors.”...

Stroh’s making its way back to Michigan taps after 2-decade hiatus

Stroh’s is celebrating 240 years by bringing its classic logo and beer on draft back to Detroit.

The brewing company announced Wednesday that it is bringing its 1987 packaging to life.

“Detroit has so much love for this beer, and most locals say ‘Stroh’s is spoken here.’ In celebration of over 240 years of rich brewing history, we return Stroh’s for the first time to draft,” said Adam Powers, associate marketing manager for Stroh’s Beer. “Cheers to the years ahead, so crack open a Stroh’s beer and celebrate with friends and family."

While bringing back the classic look, the pioneer beer brand will be returning to Detroit taps after a two-decade hiatus. Currently brewed in Milwaukee after joining the Pabst Brewing Company, 12 oz bottles, 12 oz cans and ½ BBL Kegs will soon be available in Michigan and the Midwest...

Join us at Indeed Brewing for a Brewers-Twins watch party July 26-27
