Lakefront Brewery Prepares to Celebrate National Cheese Curd Day, Holds a Cheese Curd Pull Competition

One of Lakefront Brewery’s favorite days of the year has returned! Tuesday, October 15th is National Cheese Curd Day and Lakefront is opening early at 11AM to celebrate. The event will feature their gold standard beer-battered curds with their classic garlic ranch as well as their favorite Thursday Curdsday flavors from the past year. Every Thursday, Lakefront features a specialty curd flavor, these 3 flavors are making their return for the big day.

Chicken Fried Cheese Curds - A little bit of chicken fried, a cold beer on a Tuesday night. Fresh cheddar cheese curds are battered and breaded then deep fried and seasoned with 11 secret spices. Served with brown gravy for dipping.

General Tso - Sweet, spicy, and savory. Fresh cheddar cheese curds are battered, breaded, and deep fried, then tossed in sweet and spicy sauce. Topped with chili pepper flakes and chives.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough - The favorite ice cream flavor is now a cheese curd variety! Fresh cheddar cheese curds are tossed in a sweet batter then breaded with chocolate chip cookie crumbles and deep fried. Topped with cookie dough chunks and served with chocolate syrup.

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 for a $3 discount. Lakefront’s Gluten-Free CurdWagon will be out front from 5PM to 7PM dishing out gluten-free regular curds for those that wish to celebrate safely.

After successful returns last year, the Lakefront Brewery Cheese Curd Pull Competition is back! Teams of 2 can sign up to compete in the contest. Choose the stretchiest curd from the bunch, step up to the pull markers, and test your dexterity against the field. Competitions will occur at 5PM, 6PM, and 7PM with times being added as needed. Reservations require a deposit of $12 but will include 2 drinks upon arrival with non-alcoholic products available for those interested or under 21 (must be 21+ to compete unless accompanied by a parent). The team with the longest cheese curd string from each contest will receive two $15 gift cards from Lakefront Brewery.

Make plans to celebrate one of Wisconsin’s most important holidays.
