It doesn't matter who you voted for, it just matters that you have a good time!

It's "Beer Brewed by the people for the people"

A new brewery has just opened in Portage. It's called 'Presidential Brewery Company" and it doesn't matter if you are a Democrat, a Republican, or something else. All that is important is that you enjoy time with friends.

Jake and Kayleigh Lohse owners (aka the President and First Lady)  of  The Presidential Brewing Co., turned their love of hanging out with friends and trying new beers around town into a new business.

Owner Jake Lohse told Mlive...

We never intended to open a brewery but what we found is we really like bringing people together, and I like drinking beer and I like making beer. It  turns out beer helps bring people together.

In a heated political time for our country this new brewery seems to lighten the tension many of are feeling. President Jake talked about people hanging out at the brewery to Mlive...

I’m hoping two groups end up at that table and just through proximity have good conversation with one another and maybe make some new friends out of it,

Here are some of the beers you may find on tap...
