I may be late to the game, but according to Suds, Wine & Spirits, a new brewery has opened in Milwaukee called Buffalo Water Brewing Company. Their website says both Buffalo Water Beer Company and Brewing Company, so who knows?
From the pictures on their website, it appears they are using Milwaukee Brewing Company's brewing equipment at their new stand-alone brewery at 613 South 2nd St (Jim McCabe owns the Milwaukee Ale House and Milwaukee Brewing Company). The Suds website says BWBC leases space at the 2nd Street brewery and is a separate company from the Ale House, although their relationship with them is obviously a close one. They plan on eventually brewing their beer via contract at multiple locations around country.
Their website says that Buffalo Water Beer Company is located at the intersection of Water Street and Buffalo Street in the heart of Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward district, which is also where the new and popular Water Buffalo Restaurant and Bar is located (and just down the block from the Ale House).
The Buffalo Water Brewing Company's flagship (and only) beer, Bison Blonde is now on tap at the Milwaukee Ale House and Just Arts Saloon (also on 2nd Street). The brewery has two more beers in the works: a witte and a nutty ale.
The blonde beer was specifically formulated to be paired with Buffalo wings and other hot and spicy foods. Bison Blonde is brewed in accordance with Reinheitsgebot and has 4.4% ABV.
Update: I tasted this beer last weekend at the Midwinter Brew Fest. It's OK. I think the beer might be more about marketing right now instead of taste. Pretty soon all the young teens will be saying they "slammed a Blonde" this weekend, which is one of Buffalo Water Beer Company's slogans.
