Lakefront Brewery

Milwaukee, Wisconsin · Milwaukee & Southeast

Lakefront Brewery is a celebrated microbrewery and Milwaukee, Wisconsin institution that has anchored the city's craft beer identity for nearly four decades. Founded by brothers Russ and Jim Klisch in 1987 on the banks of the Milwaukee River, it grew from a humble garage operation into one of the most recognizable names in the Milwaukee & Southeast region's brewing landscape. The flagship Riverwest Stein amber lager remains a Wisconsin classic, earning devoted fans well beyond the city's borders and standing as a benchmark for the style in the Midwest. Lakefront's riverside taproom is home to a famously entertaining tour that has become a Milwaukee tradition in its own right, blending humor, history, and great beer into an experience that draws seasoned enthusiasts and curious newcomers in equal measure. The brewery's legendary Friday fish fry — a nod to deep Wisconsin cultural roots — cements its place as far more than a place to drink, but a true gathering point for the community.
