Milwaukee City Wire

Badger State Brewing is expanding beer sales operations into the areas of Madison, Milwaukee and La Crosse, beginning this summer.

“It is now safe to say ‘the Badger has landed’ and we’re ready to begin officially supporting and becoming part of these great communities in the major metro areas of our state,” Badger State President & Founder Andrew Fabry told BrewBound.com. “After a few years of this distribution expansion being delayed, we are excited to formalize these partnerships and add to the selection of great beer made and sold right here in the State of Wisconsin.”

The company’s decision to move forward with its expansion plans comes after management recently reached formal distribution agreements with Beer Capitol, Frank Beer and La Crosse Beverage in each of their respective territories.

Now nine years into local operations, Badger State Brewing has nearly achieved statewide distribution status. An expansion effort that commenced earlier this summer now reaches multiple new areas of the state, though the Northeastern portions of the state still hold the highest concentration of business where the company was started in Green Bay.

A trio of longtime friends and Green Bay natives banded nearly a decade ago to create Badger State Brewing, with the focus always being on creating a local beer with quality ingredients as part of a business solely dedicated to serving the whole state.

The beer was recently voted best local beer of 2022 by the Green Bay Gazette.
