w/Russ Klisch & Matt Geary-Lakefront & Public Breweries

You may have heard the rumors, but have you heard the facts? One fact is that longtime Milwaukee beer icon Lakefront Brewery has taken over prime ownership of Public Brewing Company in Downtown Kenosha this past summer.  You gotta listen to this episode to get all the details as we connect with Russ Klisch, co-founder and President of Lakefront Brewery and we welcome back Matt Geary, founder of Public Brewing Company to hear all about the future of our favorite local brewery! UPDATE: On April 6, 2026, Lakefront Brewery announced they were closing Public Brewing Company immediately and indefinitely. Sad day in Kenosha.To hear even more from Matt, you can find his February 2021 appearance on the Ktown Connects Podcast here!
