GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – It was a historic and emotional day Thursday for the owner of Hinterland Brewery and Restaurant in Green Bay, as ground was broken at the new construction site across from Lambeau Field.
Owner Bill Tressler got choked up expressing how proud he was of the establishment and its hometown. “Hinterland has always been proud to call Green Bay home…I’ll get there…but we’re deeply honored to call Titletown home.”
Packer CEO and President Mark Murphy spoke at the event and says this day has been a long time coming.
“This is something that’s really been in the works for almost 7 years, working a lot of different options, looking at different places, really excited about where we ended up.”
Tressler conveyed his hopes and dreams for the business.
“I’m sure it will be a gathering place for everybody in our community but even more, it will be an incredible legacy for future generations.”
Attendees of the event got to sample Hinterland’s Groundbreaker Double Pilsner, specially made back in February for this occasion.
Construction on the business is slated to be done at the end of March with Hinterland moving in, in April.
The brewery is in its 21st year of business.
