Hey, if we Milwaukeeans have gotta be here all year long, it's only fair that Wisconsinite stay, too.
Due to popular demand, Lakefront Brewery has added Wisconsin Summer Weiss – which was released in April as the Commerce Street brewery’s 2020 summer seasonal – to its permanent, year-round line of brews.
With Wisconsin-grown two-row pale malt, pale wheat malt and Wisconsin-grown Santiam, Liberty and Tahoma hops, Wisconsinite, which has an easy-drinking 5 percent ABV, has earned its name.
It's medium to light bodied and with a pale golden color that will have you dreaming of summer on the River Walk even in the depths of winter.
"This is our state beer and we’re proud to build such solid refreshment from local farmers," says Lakefront's Michael Stodola. "(It) is flavorful with its banana and clove notes and its fresh-baked bread sweetness. It’s a unique beer with distinctive character that is beloved. We couldn’t let it go."
