After years of work, Old World Wisconsin is opening its historic tavern and beer garden this spring
An authentic 1930s tavern is making its way to Old World Wisconsin this spring, part of a years-long project to create a full immersive experience celebrating Wisconsin's brewing history.
Wittnebel's Tavern will open to the public on Saturday, May 17, about four years after it was transported from its original home in Old Ashippun, near Oconomowoc.
The tavern, which was founded in 1906 and operated by two generations of the Wittnebel family until 1987, has since been restored to how it looked post-prohibition, according to a March 24 press release.
Exterior renovations on the tavern wrapped up in June 2023, while interior renovations will be completed as it receives funding. The tavern still has some of its original elements, including its back bar, while others have been recreated, the release said.
Wittnebel's will have its flagship brew "Kettle Brau" on tap. The post-prohibition inspired lager was created in partnership with Mequon, Wisconsin-based Fox Town Brewery, according to the release.
The historic tavern will be accompanied by an outdoor beer garden.
Located in Eagle, Old World Wisconsin is owned and operated by the Wisconsin Historical Society. As part of its quest to create an immersive brewing experience, the 600-acre historical center also opened a brewhouse in June 2022.
Angela Titus, WHS assistant deputy director and chief program officer, said in the release the expansion is "bringing history to life in new and engaging ways," adding that attendees can experience Wisconsin's brewing history "from one era to the next."
Tickets for the grand opening weekend, which will include a ribbon cutting, live music, and more, can be purchased online. WHS members will receive free admission.

BTS' J-Hope Dazzles With Custom Iced-Out Alex Moss NY Chain
Summary BTS'sJ-Hope, known for his dynamic stage presence and impeccable style, recently turned heads with a show-stopping piece of jewelry during a high-profile performance. The global music icon showcased a bespoke, iced-out chain meticulously crafted by renowned New York-based jewelerAlex Moss NY, a piece that carries the distinctive artistic signature of Japanese graphic designerVERDY. This isn't just any chain; it's a testament to the escalating artistry in custom hip-hop and celebrity jewelry. Alex Moss NY has become a go-to for A-list clientele, celebrated for pushing boundaries with intricate, diamond-encrusted creations that are as much sculptures as they are accessories. His work for artists like Drake and Tyler, the Creator has cemented their reputation for audacious, high-carat designs that perfectly reflect their wearers' unique personas. The involvement of VERDY elevates this piece into a true cultural artifact. VERDY, the creative force behind hugely popular brands like Girls Don't Cry and Wasted Youth, is celebrated for his vibrant, playful, yet sophisticated graphic style, often blending Japanese streetwear aesthetics with Western influences. The integration of his famous Vick character and design vision is translated into an 'iced-out' chain by Alex Moss that signals a powerful cross-pollination of creative worlds. While specific details about the chain's design (e.g., carats, gold type, specific Verdy motifs) will likely emerge in closer looks, one-of-a-kind piece is blinged out in silver, gold, pink and blue gem stones. It speaks to the meticulous craftsmanship of Alex Moss and the distinct artistic flair of Verdy, all brought to life through J-Hope's global platform. This collaboration underscores a significant trend: the fusion of high-end jewelry with graphic art and pop culture. J-Hope wore the piece for his final show at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium in Gyeonggi Province in South Korea for his 'Hope on Stage Tour.' The show was a spectacle for BTS fans, with Jung Kook making a surprise appearance during J-Hope's solo track 'i wonder…' and alter Jin took the stage in a separate encore segment. RM, Jimin, V and SUGA were spotted in the audience as well. Take a closer look at the necklace above and below.

‘Never be afraid to be loud, transparent and authentic': First in Sheboygan Pride Month series
June is Pride Month. To mark the occasion, the Sheboygan Press connected with the Sheboygan County LGBTQ Alliance to provide a chance for people to share personal stories of Pride. Here is the first in a series. Hi! We are Kirby & Ember! We are 'fashionably late' best friends, lovers and soulmates who met on social media in 2022 — finding each other through sharing our personal journeys of confusion and questioning. Both Kirby and myself were married to men at the time we met — but both knew that we were lacking something when it came to our sexuality and authenticity. After establishing a long-distance friendship, we met in person — and knew immediately all of the questions we had were not questions at all — and that we had no choice but to chase that authenticity and freedom that we had found within ourselves, hand in hand. We came out to our families, friends and social media, together. Despite the odds, we chose to chase what felt right and step into who we knew we were all along. We have been together for almost three years and take a lot of pride in sharing our coming-out journey through our weekly Podcast (fashionablylate) and on social media. Pride, to us, screams authenticity. It screams, 'IT'S NEVER TOO LATE!' It does not matter how you were raised, how many wrong turns you might have taken or what choices you have made in the past, you can ALWAYS choose to step into a new era of growth and chase who you are deep down. We have learned that being 'fashionably late' to the game is nothing to be ashamed of — but instead, something to celebrate. No matter what part of your journey you're at — never be afraid to be loud, transparent and authentic in who you are. Live without regret and chase happiness because life is too short to allow for 'what ifs.' Kirby and I are proud to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community, and look forward to continuing to share our story, meet new people and support others.
