USA, WI: Sale of Public Brewing Company now completed, business to reopen ‘after a week or so’
The sale of Public Brewing Company has now been completed by Milwaukee’s largest craft brewery, Lakefront Brewery. The Kenosha brewery will be closed for just a short time – approximately a week – for some light reorganizing, training, and business licensing to be finalized, Milwaukee Record reported on August 5.
“After a week or so, Public will reopen once again,” says Lakefront Brewery President, Russ Klisch. “We couldn’t be more excited about Public Brewing Company and continuing Kenosha’s craft beer brewing.”
Klisch reiterated his remarks from May by saying, “Public Brewing Company has a solid reputation for its beer and food, and we aim to build on that, in addition to adding some great events.”
Similar to Lakefront, Public is in a historical building that has recently had a major renovation with all new bathrooms, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. All building, brewing, and restaurant equipment is only four years old. Public Brewing Company is located in the heart of downtown Kenosha and close to major developments happening there.
Public Brewing Company’s packaged beer, sold in the taproom and in stores, are being re-branded as well. Over the next several months, Public will define how it will move forward in everything they do, from the brewery to the 16oz canned products.
Public Brewing Company’s General Manager, Rex Kelly added, “We appreciate everyone’s patience during this process and please stay tuned for updates. We are excited to reopen and welcome you to enjoy our great beers, food, and friendly team once again”.
Lakefront Brewery, Inc. distributes its products to over 30 states, Ukraine, Sweden, and Canada. Lakefront Brewery is the first brewery in Wisconsin and 22nd brewery in the world to be certified as a B Corporation. Lakefront Brewery also produced the first beer in the United States made from 100% in-state-grown ingredients, including a first-of-its-kind, indigenous Wisconsin yeast strain (Wisconsinite Summer Weiss), the first certified organic brewery and the first gluten-free beer granted approval by the U.S. Government (New Grist).
