Talkin` brews: Leinenkugel`s Brewmaster John Hensley
At the start of 2019, something extremely rare happened in Wisconsin: For the first time in nearly a quarter-century, Leinenkugel`s got a new Chippewa Falls brewmaster: John Hensley. We recently caught up with him for a chat.
Illinois native John Hensley, 42, became just the 11th person to hold that title in the brewery`s then 152-year history...
Ken Notes: Great interview. It is nice to see Leinenkugel`s keeping the local craft aspect of the brew even though they are owned by a mega corp. I hope this stays this way....
Carbon dioxide shortages continues to affect breweries
LA CROSSE, Wis. (WXOW) -- In 2022, the U.S. saw shortages and price hikes for carbon dioxide, or CO2, and it`s continuing to affect business - including breweries. CO2 is used in a number of ways including promoting plant growth, as a food preservative, and to carbonate drinks. It`s actually a key element in brewing one of Wisconsin`s favorite drinks - beer.

Stevens Point Streetwise: New beer combines cultures...
Hula Badger beer combines flavors of Maui and Stevens Point
A new beer celebrates the partnership and collaboration between Stevens Point and Kapaula, Hawaii. According to a release from Sentry, Stevens Point Brewery and Kohola Brewery worked together to create Hula Badger IPA.
“This unique brew combines the rich culture of Stevens Point, Wisconsin, with the tropical vibes of Lahaina, Maui, to create a truly unique and memorable experience,” the release said.
The beer offers a clean and bright aroma, with notes of tropical citrus and stone fruit. Drinkers will taste flavors like pineapple, guava, lime, white peach and orange zest. Julie Birrenkott, Stevens Point Brewery’s marketing director, said the Hula Badger IPA is a perfect combination of the two cultures...

After 36 years in bottles, Lakefront beer will now come in cans. Here`s why.
Bottles of Lakefront beer will soon be a thing of the past after the Milwaukee brewery announced a move to cans as a way of being environmentally friendly and more economically efficient.
“It’s just what consumers are asking for, all of the data across the country and in Wisconsin show people prefer cans," Lakefront President Russ Klisch said. "Also, cans are easier to store and ship so it just makes sense to make the change now."...

This Dry January, nonalcoholic cocktails level up in Madison
This January, Jenny Baldwin gave up alcohol.Baldwin is not unique in this. One recent poll showed that 15% of adults in the U.S. planned to sober up for Dry January, a trend mostly driven by millennials.
It’s tough for most social Wisconsinites to skip the Old Fashioneds at happy hour, but Baldwin’s job adds a wrinkle. She co-owns a Madison bar on Park Street called Cordial, where she’s “surrounded by alcohol all the time.” Dry January has become an annual practice for her....
