The 38 Essential Milwaukee Restaurants
"Lakefront was born in 1987, but it somehow feels older, like it has simply always been a part of the fabric of the city. After the big boys that made Milwaukee famous, and before the boom of third-wave craft brewers sprouting up in the past decade, Lakefront was the most ubiquitous local beer of area bars and liquor stores. Nowadays you’re not really a Milwaukeean until you’ve taken one of the brewery’s famous tours or stopped by the live polka-fueled Friday fish fry. To keep relevant in a hypercompetitive brewing scene, the brewery keeps things fresh with stunts like “curdsday,” romantic private chalet dinners overlooking the fermentation cellar, and mini heated greenhouses on the riverfront." - Todd Lazarski
