Greetings,     
            
My personal trainer told me I should have a protein shake every evening at 11PM. That is whey past my bedtime.

A special shout out to Draft Magazine for highlighting City Lights as one of six craft breweries across the country for “best in class” online content: http://draftmag.com/6-breweries-follow-online/#slide-5.nd .  And an even louder shout out to Cory, Megan and the CYD Design team: www.cyddesign.com for their creative brilliance and design wizardry.

Congratulations to Summerfest on the 50th anniversary of the Big Gig. And a special congratulations to Penfield Children’s Center on their 50th anniversary too. We had more fun imaginable with last Saturday’s “Lasso the Keg” fundraiser for Penfield. Cheek-busting smiles and belly laughs ruled the day.

I spent the weekend searching the internet for U2 lyrics and I stillhaven'tfound what I am looking for.

Jimmy the Brewmaster, along with our Chief Innovation Officer Dr. David Ryder and our awesome brewing team have brewed some magical ales. Look for a game-changer as Jimmy is planning a Vienna-style lager using Tettnanger and Hallertau hops and the brew will lager for two months! Tomorrow Jimmy will be firing up the pilot system and brewing a Belgium-style Blond destined for a firkin - to be later joined with the freshest of fresh apricots.
 
There are a vast array of entertainment and hospitality options Milwaukee. The City Lights team and I are profoundly honored to have served many of you and we will continue with a passionate zeal to earn the privilege of your business.

We hope to see you as we celebrate this festive summer.
 
God Bless America,
