Kegel Brau Limited Release.- Berliner Wiess
The term “Giggle Water” is a throwback take on the 1920’s “Liquid Glee” or slang for an intoxicating beverage, Giggle Water is a light and mildy tart German Style Berliner Weiss to celebrate 100 years of prohibition history at Kegel’s Inn. We hope it causes you giddiness & merriment to those you celebrate with.
In Collaboration with 1840 Brewing Company

A lot of people look at the War Memorial and don't realize it was built as a constant reminder of the German pillbox's that were positioned on the beaches of Normandy. Once you know that 200 yards is the physical distance our soldiers had to fight under heavy machine gun fire, you'll never look at the War Memorial on Milwaukee's Lakefront the same again.
Collab with Explorium Brewpub & War Memorial Center for 80 Years D-Day

Celebrate a century of legacy with our Centennial Lager, a light refreshing (All-German Ingredients) brew that honors our 100-years history. Back in the era of Prohibition, our Great Grandfather, John T Kegel, boldly opened up a “Soft Drink Parlor” at 59th and National Ave. In the midst of those challenging times, the Kegel family secretly brewed beer in he basement, while Anna, John’s wife, skillfully served smuggled liquor from concealed flasks to patrons at the bar. Join us in raising a glass to the resilent & slightly rebellious foundation of the Kegel Legacy. PROST to 100 Years!

A sip to secrecy | A Chug for survival
Inspired by necessity John and Anna Kegel knew just what to do if trouble knocked—“Destroy the evidence,” they’d say, with a quick chug and a wink. This brew revives that era’s rebellious spirit. Smooth and slightly daring, Dark Time Schwarzbier is crafted for those who savor the smooth taste of history—and the daring darkness of secrecy. Sip it quietly or take it in one fearless gulp; one thing’s certain—it’s no secret how delicious this brew is.

True Confessions: Great Grandmas was a criminal. Established as a “soft drink parlor” Kegel’s Inn was actually a prohibition speakeasy selling 20 cent whiskey and 15 cent beer brewed in the basement. in 1927 Anna Kegel, my great grandma was caught selling “intoxicating Liquor” during a police raid. Although prohibition agents are no longer breaking the bock barrels, this beer is soo good it feels like it should be illegal!
