Wisconsin Master Class Series #1 of 4
History of Craft Brewing in Wisconsin - and Beer Tasting, too!
Presented by Jerry Janiszewski
Saturday, April 12 @ 3pm
Are you a true Sconnie? Whether you are a born-and-bred Wisconsinite or a transplant smitten with your adopted home—Mount Horeb’s downtown Driftless Historium invites you to the 2025 Wisconsin Master Class Series.
This four-part celebration of the Dairy State kicks off on April 12 at 3:00 p.m. with a homage to beer! Historian Jerry Janiszewski will present the “History of Craft Brewing in Wisconsin,” followed by a sampling of regional beers and hard ciders.
Jerry is an expert on and advocate for Wisconsin beers and brewing. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Wisconsin Historical Foundation and Milwaukee’s Pabst Mansion and is the recent recipient of the American Breweriana Association’s Historic Preservation Award. He will share his extensive knowledge via “Brewskis with Janiszewski” articles featured in several publications. You might also catch Jerry as a summer volunteer at Wisconsin Historical Society’s Old World Wisconsin, where he provides historic brewing demonstrations in 1860s costume and character.
The sampling portion of the evening is made possible by donations from four Wisconsin brew houses and one cidery: Mount Horeb’s own Grumpy Troll Brewpub and Brix Cider, Beloit’s G5 Brewing Company, Duesterbeck’s Brewing Company of Elkhorn, and Fitchburg’s Delta Beer Lab.
Love history and Wisconsin, but not a drinker? There will be soda and sparkling beverages on hand, too.
This is a ticketed event; just fifty seats are available. Cost is $25 per person general admission; $15 for MHAHS Individual, Household and Contributing-level Members; FREE for MHAHS After Supper Club-level Members and above (with complimentary guest).

The Driftless Historium’s “Wisconsin Master Class Series” continues with Supper Clubs (June), Euchre (September), and Cheese and Sausage (October). Attend all four and receive your “Very Official Wisconsin Expert” diploma.

7th Annual "Flavor of the Year" Ice Cream Tasting
Monday, April 14, 6-8pm
MHAHS-UW Platteville Partner Program
The Driftless Historium (100 S 2nd St) needs your help choosing the site-exclusive, can’t-get-it anywhere-else 2025 Flavor of the Year. Community feedback is requested via an upcoming ice cream taste testing, to be held on-site on Monday, April 14 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
This is a free, drop-in event; all are welcome. Our selfless volunteer tasters will sample eight unique ice creams concocted by UW-Platteville Dairy Science students, record their observations and rank their favorites.
The 2025 theme is “Celebrate!”, with students challenged to create ice creams inspired by the Mount Horeb Area Historical Society’s 50th anniversary milestone. During the April 14 tasting, the student creators will be on hand to answer questions about ingredients and the production process.
The winning flavor will debut at the MHAHS’s open house event on May 10, 2025, with free scoops offered to all guests as part of the day’s Golden Anniversary festivities.
This is the seventh annual collaboration between the Driftless Historium and UW-Platteville’s Dr. Tera Montgomery, Director of the School of Agriculture and Professor of Dairy Sciences. To learn more, call 608-437-6486 or email [email protected].
