Manitowoc Noon Rotary is set to host the 27th annual Winter Brewfest, a well-attended event on the Wisconsin lakeshore. The proceeds from this event will benefit the community through various programs and donations by the Manitowoc Noon Rotary club. Scheduled for Saturday, February 15, 2025, from 1 to 5 p.m., the event will take place at the Manitowoc County Expo Center.

Tickets are priced at $40 in advance or $50 on the day of the event. They can be purchased ahead of time at Pet Skull Brewing Co., Craft Creek Brewing Co., Cool City Brewing Co., and Superior Discount Liquors in Manitowoc. Digital tickets are also available through Eventbrite. Attendees must be at least 21 years old.

The Brewfest will offer samples of over 100 different brews from more than 25 local and regional craft breweries, including home brews, non-alcoholic and gluten-free options, mocktails, and coffee samples. Ticket holders will enjoy pretzel necklaces, local charcuterie selections, and exclusive Brew Dogs as part of their admission.

The afternoon promises entertainment with raffle prizes, games, contests, and more. The event relies on support from volunteers, local breweries, and sponsoring businesses like Bank First. Amanda Sitkiewitz from Bank First expressed pride in supporting this initiative: “At Bank First, we are committed to supporting the communities we serve... It’s a great way to enjoy local flavors, connect with the community, and support meaningful local initiatives.”
