LAKEFRONT BREWERY IS BACK FOR ANOTHER HELPING OF NATIONAL CHEESE CURD DAY
MILWAUKEE (September 15th, 2026) – Lakefront Brewery will once again open its doors at 3PM on Thursday, October 15th to dish out their award-winning cheese curds to all who celebrate National Cheese Curd Day. The brewery has popularized the softly-breaded, gooey, flavorful fried cheese curd served with its equally famous garlic ranch dipping sauce since they launched their kitchen in 2013. The brewery averages about 30,000 pounds of curds per calendar year and has recently started a Curd Counter above their kitchen door to help everyone keep track. This will be their eighth year hosting the event, featuring specialty cheese curd flavors and their popular Cheese Curd Pull Competition.
Lakefront’s everyday fried cheese curds will be available alongside three specialty Cheese Curd Day exclusive flavors:
WI SUPPER CLUB PRIME RIB
Rich and savory dark lager-battered cheese curds breaded with prime rib-seasoned breadcrumbs and served with a side of creamy horseradish sauce and au jus. Not your typical Saturday night special, these two classics merge for an intensely Wisconsin experience. Pairs well with Riverwest Stein.
CARROT CAKE
Spiced cake-battered cheese curds breaded with graham crackers and Biscoff cookie crumbs and topped with ribbons of cream cheese frosting. They’re warm, sweet and aromatic with a bit of tang, and will take your senses on a pleasant cheese curd driven adventure. Pairs well with Eastside Dark.
MANGO CHILE LIME
Sweet mango and zesty citrus beer-battered curds breaded with crushed chile tortilla chips, topped with chile lime seasoning, and drizzled with herbaceous cilantro lime sauce. For the venturesome who like a little exotic zip in their lives, we dare you to try this wild new flavor. Pairs well with Hazy Rabbit.
Lakefront Brewery offers a specialty Cheese Curd of the Month, every month. Each year, their National Cheese Curd Day brings forth three potential new flavors for the following year. Help them decide which ones need a repeat! All four options will be available in their standard portion size, usually good for two to three people. Guests can order all three of the above specialty flavors for a discount.
NEW THIS YEAR! Lakefront Executive Chef Kristin Hueneke will be frying up their unbeatable gluten-free beer-battered curds LIVE in the Beer Hall hot and fresh right in front of you! “Our Gluten-Free CurdWagon goes into seasonal hibernation later in the month, we thought this would be a great way to set up an isolated fryer and allow our gluten-free fans to join in the fun,” said Chef Kristin.
Lakefront is excited to announce the return of their Cheese Curd Pull Competition for teams of two! Choose the “stretchiest” curd from the basket, step up to the pull markers, and test your abilities against a field of other competitors. The team with the longest cheese curd string from each contest will receive two $15 gift cards from Lakefront Brewery. Free to enter, sign up at their entrance.
Run, don’t walk, to Lakefront Brewery on National Cheese Curd Day, October 15th and don’t forget to become a Curd Card carrying member; 11 orders of cheese curds will get you the 12th one for free!
