Lakefront Brewery's Riverwest Stein
For the fifth straight year, the battle for best local product – whether it be beer, bitters, a brandy old fashioned or some other boozy libation – has ended with Lakefront Brewery's Riverwest Stein coming away the king. But for the first time, Third Space Happy Place nabbed second.
Lakefront's flagship beer is named after the Riverwest neighborhood where the brewery was founded, with the amber lager delivering a hint of sweetness that was made to complement German delicacies like schnitzel and rouladen. Riverwest Stein is available on tap or in a bottle at most Milwaukee bars and clubs, as well as available in packs at most liquor stores.
