Lakefront Brewery Closed to the Public.

As of Friday, March 13^th, Lakefront Brewery will be closing to the public due to the national outbreak of Covid-19. Lakefront’s Beer Hall, Restaurant, Tours and special events will cease operations until further notice. 

“It’s crucial that our city gets out in front of this health crisis,” said Lakefront Brewery President and Founder, Russ Klisch. “We only have one chance to end the transmission of this virus.” 

Several lessons have been learned from China to Washington State about the Coronavirus and articles such as this one by Tomas Pueyo has been an eye-opener to what we’re going against. Lakefront is encouraging others take the same steps to increase social separation and bring about an end to this pandemic sooner than later. 

Lakefront Brewery will be closed to the public, however its brewing operations will continue. “Our brewing, cellar and packaging staff is small and our operations remain clean and dependable,” Klisch mentioned. “There will not be a shortage of beer to buy wherever Lakefront is available.” 

Affected event cancelations include: Sunday, March 15^th’s Keg Stand Up, Tuesday, March 17^th’s Drag Queen Bingo and all tours. 

This is a proactive step as we have no reason to believe that any Lakefront Brewery employees or guests have been affected. We wish everyone the best during this outbreak and hope Milwaukee and Wisconsin can keep the virus at bay moving forward.
