WEST ALLIS — Leinenkugel's is releasing a new limited-edition beer inspired by one of Wisconsin's most beloved fair traditions — the Original Cream Puff.

The Leinenkugel's Cream Puff Ale debuts Aug. 6 and will be available exclusively at the 2026 Wisconsin State Fair while supplies last. The beer commemorates the Wisconsin State Fair's 175th anniversary.

According to a press release, the ale is brewed with Vienna and American honey malts, oats and German noble hops, delivering a pastry-like malt character, a creamy mouthfeel and a subtly sweet vanilla finish.
