Lady Elgin Beer Collaboration

In collaboration with Milwaukee County Historical Society, Indeed Brewing Company in Milwaukee brewed Lady Elgin Foreign Extra Stout to coincide with the museum’s “Milwaukee: Where the Waters Meet" feature exhibit.
Representing just one story in the exhibit, Lady Elgin Foreign Extra Stout pays homage to the approximate 300 lives lost in the sinking of the Lady Elgin on Sept. 8, 1860. The majority of passengers of the steamship, on a charter trip to Chicago, were connected to Milwaukee’s Irish Union Guard-a militia unit based out of the Third Ward. On its return voyage the Lady Elgin was hit by an unlit schooner, causing her to sink.
$1 from every pint/crowler/growler of Lady Elgin Foreign Extra Stout sold will be donated to MCHS.
