KENOSHA, Wis. — A new local partnership is promising to make Sunday afternoons in Kenosha a little more lively — and a lot more refreshing.
Lakeshore Pedal Tours has teamed up with Public Brewing Company to launch Pedals & Pints, a new beer-and-sightseeing experience set to debut Memorial Day weekend and run through Labor Day. The two-hour rolling adventure will depart every other Sunday at noon from the Stella Hotel & Ballroom, offering a mix of lakeside views, historic landmarks, and local craft beer.
“This is about celebrating the best of Kenosha,” said Meryl Strichartz, owner of Lakeshore Pedal Tours and operator of the Kenosha Beach House. “We’ve got incredible lakefront scenery, a vibrant downtown, and amazing local beer. This tour brings all that together in one fun package.”

Passengers will board a 16-passenger, pedal-powered trolley featuring twelve pedaling seats and a rear bench for four. The tour includes a stop at Public Brewing Company, where riders will be treated to a behind-the-scenes brewery tour, complete with two pints of beer and a souvenir glass. The brewery portion promises an engaging look into Kenosha’s brewing culture, led by staff who love sharing beer and history in equal measure.
“Riders are in for a big treat,” said Rex Kelly, general manager at Public Brewing Company. “Our tours are fun, informative, and include a guaranteed mid-tour pour. It’s a great way to spend a Sunday.”
After the tour, guests will receive a coupon for a complimentary beer from Lakefront Brewery or Public Brewing Company, redeemable at participating local bars and restaurants.

Beyond the brewery, the experience includes scenic spins along Lake Michigan and through some of the city’s most photogenic and historic areas. Organizers say it’s perfect for birthday parties, date outings, corporate team-building, or just a casual Sunday with friends.
Tickets are $40 per person, plus tax and fees, and must be reserved at least 24 hours in advance. Booking is available online at www.lakeshorepedal.com, or by calling 262-842-5418 for last-minute availability.
Public Brewing Company is located just a short walk from the Stella Hotel and continues to be a cornerstone of Kenosha’s downtown revival.
“We’re excited to showcase our city in a new way,” Strichartz said. “Pedals & Pints is just the beginning.”

Drunks, my God, always have to have alcohol at Kenosha functions. From going to the park to going to the lake, you must have alcohol. Signed non drinker
