Tough day for Chippewa Falls

Mike McKay

Sad news about Molson Coors closing the Leinie’s Brewery in January. I feel so bad for the employees, many that have spent their lives working there. Also, for the city of Chippewa Falls. Most of our friends or family members that have come to visit have always wanted to make a visit for a tour. I’m not sure what’s to come, but in my opinion there’s not too many more iconic buildings in the state of Wisconsin than the Leinenkugel Brewery. I truly hope they’ll be able to preserve the building for tours. It would be a true tragedy to see a piece of history disappear.

Mike is BACK on the air every morning all across Eau Claire and the Chippewa Valley on 105-7 CFW! With over 28+ years in the Chippewa Valley, this has become home for Mike and his wife Lori. His kids grew up here and they still live here as well. When he's not on the air waking up the Valley, Mike spends time working around the house and yard as well as relaxing on the deck, usually more time relaxing than working! Weekends mean exploring the area and even after all these years, both he and his wife Lori still find things they've never seen before. Mike enjoys a little bit of online poker and spending quality time with his Pomeranian GiGi and kitty "Violet". Oh, and hockey is the only sport that matters in his house, "GO WILD"!
