A Neenah brewery is getting some statewide attention.
Barrel 41 won an online vote put together by the state tourism department to find the “Top in Hops.”
Co-owner Matt Stubing hopes the contest will help spread the word, and bring in new customers to check out the brewery. He says not everyone thinks of Neenah as a craft beer destination, and maybe the top finish will change their mind.
Travel Wisconsin organized the month-long “Wisconsin Brewdown.” More than 100 breweries around the state were nominated, and the list was narrowed to 20 finalists.
Stubing credits social media, and friends and family in the Neenah area, for encouraging people to vote.
He says they’re trying to expand their market, especially through their canned beer.
