We sit down with two of our favorite people at Public Brewing Company – General Manager Rex and Executive Chef Josh for this mini-conversation to talk beer, cheese, and more.

Unfortunately, on April 6, 2026, just a few weeks after recording this episode, Lakefront Brewing, announced they were shutting down Public Brewing immediately and indefinitely. Sad day in Kenosha.

This episode was recorded live in front of a studio audience at Public Brewing Company in Downtown Kenosha on March 10, 2026.

Theme song performed by Dropping Daisies, written by James “Red” McLeod.
