Bull Falls Brewery Expands Company Submitted: 01/31/2013

WAUSAU - You'll soon be able to drink some new brews.

It's thanks to a merger announced Wednesday.

Bull Falls Brewery in Wausau has partnered with Mid-Wisconsin Beverage.

Their beer will be sold all across the Northwoods including Rhinelander and Minocqua.

An expansion on their current building is in the near future as well.

Co-owner Michael Zamzow at first was skeptical about the partnership.

"We feel now that we are going to be able to get to kinda grow up together because this is new for us and new for them," said Zamzow.

"We as a brewery here will be able to pour into that company information that they need about beer so that they can do a good job promoting the products and the quality stays good."

Bull Fall produces 16 different styles of beer.

Mid-Wisconsin is the local Pepsi distributor.
