Nov. 9, 2017 – West Bend, WI – Quite a few neighbors are commenting on social media about how they would like to see the former West Bend Brewery, 445 N. Main Street, saved and repurposed rather than be razed for a potential development of apartments.

Property owners Chris Schmidt and Clifton Davis offered a tour of the inside of the main brewery building and here’s a portion of that tour.
