Lakefront Brewery
Lakefront Brewery
Lakefront Brewery is a microbrewery based in the Beerline B neighborhood of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Founded in 1987 by brothers Russ and Jim Klisch, several of its brands are named after Milwaukee neighborhoods, such as Riverwest Stein Beer and East Side Dark. The brewery often uses Wisconsin-grown ingredients, including Door County cherries.

The brewery is noted for its gluten-free brand, New Grist, which is brewed using sorghum and gluten-free yeast. The brewery successfully petitioned the U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau to allow this product to be called a beer despite not having the previously required 25% malted barley content.
Organic Hops
Growth of the brewery has been strong in recent years, especially due to the gluten-free product. The brewery shipped 8,863 barrels of beer to wholesalers in 2006, a 2,571 barrels, or 41% increase from the 2005 total. The success of the gluten-free product has attracted competitive interest from other brewers, large and small. The brewery offers daily beer tours and a Friday night fish fry (with polka music) at a banquet hall.
The Brewery also has a strong presence at Summerfest in Milwaukee, featuring its
own pavilion selling a variety of its brews, including New Grist.
