Madison, here we come 🚙

Tonight is Wisconsin Bride magazine Best of 2026 Awards Gala and every single one of our brands is a finalist! Honestly, it’s kind of wild to type that out.

✨ Best Hospitality Company: Brazen Standard Hospitality
✨ Best Catering: Tall Guy and a Grill Catering
✨ Best Desserts: The Dessert Cart
✨ Best Bar Service: The Crafted Tavern

These finalists were selected through open voting across Wisconsin, and being represented in all four categories feels incredibly special.

Amazing job team. Seriously. We wouldn’t be in this position without you. Thank you for showing up, working hard, and caring as much as you do.

The crew is officially on the road to Madison now and we’re feeling pretty lucky already. Let’s do this!

Back behind the bar for year two of Dinner with the Drivers with the Donald Driver Foundation, and it felt just as special, if not more.

Standing alongside 80 Milwaukee-area business and community leaders was a reminder of just how powerful community can be. People showed up in a big way, all in support of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee.

Grateful to be invited back and work with Team Lammi again, grateful to be part of it, and always happy to keep the drinks flowing for a cause like this. Cheers to everyone who made it happen! 🥂

We don’t usually put Dan behind the bar, but maybe we should more often. Throwback to last month's NACE-Tender event and a little glimpse into how The Crafted Tavern got its start.

Meanwhile, his signature cocktail for the night was a big hit: gin, white cranberry, elderflower, rosemary, fresh lime, and soda🍹

💡 Inquiring minds want to know: if you’re skipping alcohol at an event, what are you reaching for these days? A mocktail? CBD-infused drinks? Functional beverages? 🙋🏻‍♂️

Back in January, we spent an afternoon at N/A Day🍻 at The Cooperage with Milwaukee Record, sipping our way through a whole lot of zero-proof options. The N/A world has really leveled up and people are clearly here for it. Dry January might be over, but the shift toward better alcohol-free options isn’t going anywhere.

We’re working on expanding the N/A side of our menu and would love to hear what you’re drinking lately! ⬇️

Sip sip hooray.🥂

Tuesday’s NACE-Tender was equal parts talent and good times. Cocktails > competition 😉

And now we’re looking forward to ’s March 10 event “Community Over Competition: Floral Edition” hosted at ’s Venue 3 💐

Back in November, we had the honor of bartending WUWM 89.7 FM - Milwaukee's NPR Lake Effect On-Site at Forest Home Cemetery & Arboretum, and we got to see the whole thing from behind the bar (and above ground 😉).

Forest Home is the oldest cemetery 🪦 in Milwaukee and celebrated its 175th anniversary last year. But it's also an arboretum🌳, open to the public for tours, and provides some seriously thoughtful community programming.

You can now listen to the full episode at🎙️:
