E-Malt.com News article: USA, WI: Lakefront Brewery Inc. launches Wisconsinite

Milwaukee-based Lakefront Brewery Inc. introduced Wisconsinite, a new unfiltered Weiss-style beer made entirely of local, Wisconsin-grown ingredients, BizTimes.com reported on May, 11.

The new brew is believed to be the first 100 percent “all local” beer made in the United States.

Wisconsinite made its debut at several local release parties. The product will begin appearing at retail outlets in the coming weeks.

“The craft beer market is trending towards session beers with full flavors but lower alcohol content,” said Klisch. “Wisconsinite fits this category, given its (low) ABV and hints of banana and clove.”

Klisch plans to forgo compensation to make it available to other brewers, hoping to create a new category of beer called Wisconsin Weiss.

Lakefront Brewery was started in 1987 and is one of the oldest microbreweries in Wisconsin.
