I was reading the Spring issue of Beer Connoisseur Magazine this afternoon, and another Milwaukee Brewery got a mention in one of its articles! Good job Milwaukee. Great job Lakefront. Thank you Lucy Saunders and thank you Beer Connoisseur!
I was reading the article "A Thirst for Tradition: Craft Brewing & Slow Food" by Lucy Saunders. It was an article about the slow food movement - "meals prepared with fresh ingredients and care, and enjoyed at length, replete with conversation and plenty of conviviality. Slow Food USA focuses on food that is 'Good, Clean and Fair,' i.e., a way of living, eating and drinking that links us to the community and the environment." It also talks about craft beer's relationship to the the slow food movement.
And the author wrote the following about Lakefront: "In Milwaukee, Wis., the Lakefront Brewery (www.lakefrontbrewery.com) has supported Slow Food through fundraisers and tastings, and it embodies the ethos in Local Acre, the first commercially sold beer to be made entirely from ingredients grown and processed in Wisconsin since Prohibition. Back in 2008, Lakefront was featured in the beer pavilion at the Slow Food Nation festival in San Francisco, which saw roughly 85,000 attendees in all."
Awesome!
