MILWAUKEE (September 24th, 2025) – The importance of the cheese curd to the people of Wisconsin cannot be understated. They can be found in just about every commercial kitchen across the state. Since 2013, Lakefront Brewery has been producing some of the most award-winning fried cheese curds in the Midwest, churning out over 60,000 orders in a calendar year. Join Lakefront in celebrating National Cheese Curd Day on Wednesday, October 15th from 2pm to 9pm.
Alongside their gold-standard beer-battered curds with garlic ranch, Lakefront has been offering a Cheese Curd of the Month. Every month, a new specialty flavored curd is available to order from their kitchen. In addition to their beer-battered favorites, on Curd Day, Lakefront will also be offering 3 specialty flavors as potential Curd of the Month options in 2026. Help them decide which ones need an encore!
Chicken N’ Waffle Curds – A breakfast-inspired item everyone can get behind. Sweet waffle-battered and fried with 11 secret savory spices, then served with a ribbon of spicy maple bacon syrup. Pairs with their Riverwest Stein Amber Lager.
French Onion Curds – A cheese curd twist on Wisconsin’s favorite supper club soup. Beer and onion battered cheese curds with garlic crouton-fried breading served with a side of rich onion gravy. Pairs with their Lakefront IPA.
Caramel Apple Cheesecake Curds – Their dessert curds have become fan-favorites over the years. Fresh cheese curds tossed in a sweet batter with graham cracker breading. Topped with streusel, caramel drizzle, and served with a side of delicate vanilla cream. Pairs with their Eastside Dark Lager.
All 4 options will be available in their standard portion size, usually good for 2 to 3 people. Guests can order all 3 of the above specialty flavors (or all 4 options) for a discount.
That’s not all. Lakefront is excited to announce the return of their Cheese Curd Pull Competition for teams of 2! Choose the “stretchiest” curd from the basket, step up to the pull markers, and test your dexterity against a field of other competitors. The team with the longest cheese curd string from each contest will receive 2 $15 gift cards from Lakefront Brewery. Free to enter, sign up at their entrance.
It’s time to make plans, how will you be celebrating?
