Hundreds line up for Black Friday beer
MILWAUKEE - Some people wait outside in the cold overnight for cheap TVs or computers. People in Wisconsin do it for beer.
A few people stood overnight outside Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee but most people arrived early Friday to get a shot at the limited edition Imperial Stout Aged in Bourbon Barrels.
The brewery only had 5,000 22-ounce bottles and they were gone within 3½ hours.
Brewery spokesman Matt Krajnak estimated around 800 people were in line by the time the doors opened at 8 a.m., when it was snowing and about 15 degrees.
Owner Russ Klisch says Black Friday is their biggest day of the year. They also had a DJ, breakfast and of course - tap beer.
This is the fourth year the brewery has had Black Friday beers.
