Special Guest Speaker is Katie Leinenkugel, presenting "Six Generations of Wisconsin Brewing History”


About Katie's Presentation: Katie will share the background and history of Wisconsin’s 157-year-old brewery, the Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company.  Throughout the years, innovation has played a major role in keeping their brewery going, especially in the last 30 years.  Women have played an interesting role in her family and brewery’s history and it’s possible they wouldn’t still be around if it weren’t for some pretty spectacular females.  Katie will also talk about the biggest challenges facing Leinenkugel’s today.

About our Speaker: Katie is a 6^th generation member of the Leinenkugel Family.  Katie first joined MillerCoors back in 2007 as a retail coordinator for the Leinie Lodge at Milwaukee’s Summerfest.  She earned a BA in Journalism from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities in 2010 and swiftly moved away from the cold weather of the north to Dallas, Texas.  Katie taught 1^st grade for two years as part of the Teach for America program.  After her two years of teaching she became a vice principal and then principal of an elementary school during which time she earned a Masters in Educational Leadership from Southern Methodist University and an MBA from the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin.  Katie moved back to Milwaukee to work in marketing for Leinenkugel’s.  After 3 years on the brand team, she moved into sales for the Molson Coors portfolio working with distributor partners.  Katie has most recently accepted a role managing Molson Coors’ Commercial Development Xploration Program.  During her free time, Katie can be found enjoying cold beers at her family’s lake house in Eagle River, cooking, biking, reading, or spending time with her only nephew, an Australian Shepherd named Clifford.
