On the evening of May 18, over 65 members and guests gathered at Lakefront Brewery on the Milwaukee River to welcome back summer. The evening included a beer tasting tour, dinner, and casual networking event. Lakefront Brewery was opened in 1987, and has increased production from a few barrels to over 30,000 today. They are located in a once coal-fired power plant along the shore of the Milwaukee River, and brew such beers as pumpkin beer, fruit beer, and the latest addition of gluten-free beer, with names like New Grist, Cherry, and Fuel Café. If you are ever in Milwaukee, it is worth a stop. Our NextGen group leaders, Kavin Tedamrongwanish of Goldstein & McClintock LLLP and Andrew Krzyzanowsk of Franklin Capital Network, did an amazing job planning this event.
