USA, WI: Lakefront Brewery outgrowing current location

30 years ago Russ Klisch and his brother starting brewing small batches of beer in their kitchen. Now, Lakefront Brewery is outgrowing its current location, TMJ4 reported on August 20.

"We are busting at the seams as you can tell, behind me we can't put too many more tanks in here," says Klisch.

This year the microbrewery will produce 48,000 barrels of beer. Klisch has plans to expand the production facility to a neighboring property.

Lakefront is just one of many local breweries branching out, thanks to the demand for craft beer.

"I see more coming to Milwaukee and I see more growing the ones that are here. A trend that will continue, and we will need more capacity for its growth," said Lakefront Brewery president Russ Klisch.
