Lee Reiherzer (Non-Fiction, History)
A History of Beer and Brewing in Neenah and Menasha - Lee Reiherzer will cover the entire history of beer and brewing in the twin cities of Neenah and Menasha. From the cities first breweries of the 1850s to the craft breweries of today, this is a story filled with surprising turns and has, at times, been marked by conflict.
