Family Legacy
The Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company created its first beer in 1867 at its Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin brewery. Leinenkugel remains headquartered there today and is in its fifth generation of family leadership.
Dick grew up in the beer business, starting as a sales rep in Chicago before working his way up to V.P. of Sales for the Leinenkugel Division of Miller Brewing. After holding this position for two decades, Dick moved on to the company’s business development division, allowing him to build relationships with fellow craft brewers while continuing to cultivate the Leinenkugel legacy.
