Leinie’s Leading Lady

Another member of the Leinenkugel family is taking over the Wisconsin-based company. 

A social media post last week announced Katie Leinenkugel would be the next president of the Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company.  She takes over for her cousin Tony Bugher, and is just the second woman to hold the position in the company’s history.  The new leadership comes after Molson Coors recently moved brewing operations of Leinenkugel’s to Milwaukee, but maintains a presence in Chippewa Falls.
