Milwaukee Microbrewer Begins Bottling

Published May 21, 2008 - BizTimes Daily

The Buffalo Water Beer Company, Milwaukee's newest microbrewer, will begin bottling its beer for the first time this afternoon at its brewery on Milwaukee's near south side.
The company will begin bottling its flagship lager, Bison Blonde, at its brewery, which is located at 613 S. Second St.

Since its introduction to the market in 2007, Buffalo Water has been available on tap at various local taverns, including the Milwaukee Ale House, the Carleton Grange Pub, Triskele's, the Donges Bay Clubhouse and Dairyland Greyhound Park.

The Buffalo Water Beer Company was founded in Milwaukee in 2007 by local beer enthusiast and entrepreneur Craig Peterson. Created to complement hot foods, particularly Buffalo wings, Buffalo Water Bison Blonde Lager is brewed in accordance with the Bavarian purity law of 1516, meaning there are only four ingredients in the brew: water, malt, hops and yeast.
The bottled Buffalo Water Bison Blonde will be available at Woodman's Food Markets throughout Wisconsin.
