From Lachmann to Lion’s Tail, a History of Brewing in Neenah

Next Thursday (March 17), I'll be at the Neenah Public Library giving a talk about the history of beer and brewing in Neenah.

Did you know Neenah was home to a brewery long before Lion’s Tail came around? It’s true. Jacob Lachmann launched the first brewery in Neenah back in 1856. The city has an interesting and somewhat contentious history when it comes to beer and I’ll be covering the whole story. 

The presentation starts at 7:00 p.m. and will run about an hour. Maybe after, we can all head to Lion’s Tail for a beer. I think that would be the appropriate thing to do.

Here's more on all of that.
