On Satur day\, June 10th\, in conjunction with WMSE’s Chicken Shack Radio Show\, Great Lakes Dist illery will be releasing Chicken Shack Straight Rye Whiskey for the second year in a row. Chicken Shack Rye is a single barrel straight rye whiskey\ , bottled at 91.7 proof\, giving a polite nod to WMSE’s frequency that sha res the same numbers. To celebrate\, Great Lakes Distillery is offering it s first outdoor ticketed show with Horsesho es & Hand Grenades and opening act Chicken Wire Empire. To round things off\, the folks from Central Waters Brewing Co. will be bringing out a bunch of tasty beers\, including HHG Pale Ale\, in spired by the music of Horseshoes & Hand Grenades. Several local food truc ks will be on-hand during the show to keep everyone fed.
\nTickets f or the event are $25 each and the first 500 tickets sold will include a Pl ucker’s Punch featuring rye whiskey. Great Lakes Distillery offers ample p arking\, however we advocate for a planned safe ride home and will have de signated areas for Uber/Lyft pick-up and drop-off.
\nThe idea of Gre at Lakes Distillery launching a product with WMSE starts right from the di stillery floor. “We don’t have many hard and fast rituals around here\, bu t tuning into the Chicken Shack with Jonny Z Friday mornings is definitely one of them\,” says Head Distiller Nate Newbrough.
\nIn 2022\, 215 bottles of Chicken Shack Straight Rye Whiskey were released mid-May and so ld out in under a week. “Milwaukee is a city where partnerships don’t have to be forced. When good people work with good people\, good results gener ally follow\,” says Tasting Room Manager\, Brendan Cleary.
\nOn Satu rday\, June 10th\, the show will be held in the back parking lot of Great Lakes Distillery\, in the shadows of the 6th St. viaduct and around the ro undabout from The Iron Horse Hotel. “Since we moved to this location\, we have always wanted to utilize this backspace behind our building. The 6th St. viaducts are such an underrated Milwaukee landmark\, and this show wil l be a great way to enjoy them\,” says Great Lakes Distillery Founder\, Gu y Rehorst.
\nHorseshoes & Hand Grenades is a high energy bluegrass q uintet act out of Stevens Point\, Wisconsin. After 10 years of touring fro m the west to the east coasts\, they offer one of the tightest Americana a cts in the country. Supporting them will be Milwaukee’s own Chicken Wire E mpire\, a bluegrass quintet from right in our own backyard. Chicken Wire E mpire played the first Chicken Shack Straight Rye Release Block Party in 2 022\, and are jumping right back into action in 2023. “This is such a grea t bill for the city\, especially as it will be one of the first outdoor sh ows of the season\,” says Chicken Wire Empire Bassist\, Jordan Kroeger.
\nJoin us on Saturday\, June 10th\, at 616 W. Virginia St.\, to enjoy Bluegrass music\, craft cocktails\, craft beer\, and local food. Gates ope n at 6:00 pm\, and the show starts at 7:00pm. Purchase tickets online at G reatLakesDistillery.com. This show is rain or shine! *We will reschedule a nd refund any tickets necessary in the event of an extreme weather event.< /p>\n
