(Milwaukee, WI) – MKE Brewing Co. is undergoing yet another addition of fermentation space in 2014.

We are making strides to keep this momentum going and continue to make quality, hand crafted beers for the Midwest for years to come.”

2014 is shaping up nicely for MKE Brewing Co. After surprisingly successful first quarter, sales are up 60% over 2013 with the prime selling season still ahead.
