Bill Tressler, owner of Hinterland Brewing & Gastropubs as guest speaker. Hinterland Gastropub continues to be one of the most highly rated restaurants in Milwaukee and they have also been collaborating with local craft brewers and retailers recently so this should be a very interesting meeting. We’ll be sampling some of Hinterland’s year-round, seasonal and taproom-only beers.

The Beer Barons of Milwaukee invite you to attend our upcoming member meeting, Wednesday, April 22 at our usual location, Cliffords Supper Club in Hales Corners.
The April meeting will be a commercial meeting ($10). This month we have Bill Tressler, owner of Hinterland Brewing & Gastropubs as guest speaker.

As always, we encourage you to bring your homebrew to share. Bringing your beer to a meeting is a great way to get feedback and share your delicious brew with like-minded beer enthusiasts. If you bring a keg (or enough bottles to share) to the meeting and email the board in advance to let us know what you are bringing, we will give you $20 for your ingredients. Please e-mail [email protected] or let Josh know directly at [email protected] so we can have adequate serving equipment on hand.
