During the event, Pearl Street Brewery will be releasing a Belgian Quad aged in Bourbon Barrels for the last five years (12oz single bottles).

On Saturday, February 17th, Pearl Street Brewery celebrates its 25th Annual Winter Ball – Party Like It’s 1999 with a special release.

During the event, Pearl Street Brewery will be releasing a Belgian Quad aged in Bourbon Barrels for the last five years (12oz single bottles). The Brewmaster says, ‘When we hit the 20-year milestone, we decided we better make something special for our 25th anniversary, so I brewed a Trappist-style Belgian Quad and put it into bourbon barrels where it has been resting for the last five years. We have now kegged some of the batch and bottled some of it. After the long rest in bourbon barrels, the beer is in excess of 12% ABV. We called it ‘Lamb of Quad,’ and the girls upstairs made a cool label for the bottles.’ The beer will be released at the Winter Ball Saturday, February 17, 2024.

Additionally, The event will feature live music, delectable food, and a fantastic array of craft beverages from Pearl Street Brewery and Turisimo Winery & Fermentation. Guests will groove to live performances by The Smokin’ Bandits and Gruv Collection, accompanied by an eclectic selection of special release drinks, beers, and beverages.

History of Winter Ball 
In 1999, Joe and his father, Tony, established Pearl Street Brewery in a downtown La Crosse bar’s basement. This marked the birth of a legend, and since then, it’s been a vibrant, storied history. Now, after 25 years, the brewery is set to celebrate another Winter Ball at its Northside La Crosse home. Throughout its history, this anniversary celebration has transformed across various locations, each leaving cherished memories for attendees.

The inaugural Winter Ball in 1999 was hosted at the Bodega. Subsequent events took place at Bluebird Campground, Westby Rod & Gun Club, El Coco Loco (now closed), and twice in a historic 1800s barn. Once, it was even held in Timber Coulee, nestled in the heart of the Coulee Region. This year, people from near and far will gather to celebrate at the brewery’s Saint Andrew Street location.

This Saturday, February 18th 2023, Pearl Street Brewery will be celebrating its 24th Annual Winter Ball. Festivities will include special releases of new, one-off beers, wine spritzers, sparkling wines, and hard cider mixers along with a lineup of award-winning Pearl Street Brewery beers. Special release beverages include:

Bloody Marty – Blood Orange Wheat – A Refreshing Wheat Beer with a Twist! Brewed with 2-row Northwest Pale Malt and Wisconsin Malted Wheat. Blood oranges provide a subtle twist to this brew. It pours with a thick, white lacy head and a tint of orange. A medium malt body with a crisp wheat finish and subtle orange flavor.

German Pilsner – Crisp, clean and slightly bitter, with a medium-dry finish. Slight malt sweetness lingers. Proud, white head. German noble hops.

Badunkadunkle Dunkleweizen- Southern German style wheat beer brewed as darker versions (Dunkel means “dark”) with deliciously complex malts and a low balancing bitterness. Creamy and medium-bodied, amber-brown and slightly hazy. Clove, banana bread and bubblegum character in the nose.

Wine Release – New Wines! House made Chardonnay and a Cabernet along with wine Spritzers

The evening’s entertainment lineup will not disappoint. From Minneapolis, Porky’s Groove Machine opens the night with their own co-ed, brassy-funk, with some synchronized dance moves (for band and audience alike).  Porky’s live show is a blast and the groove is infectious.

Headlining the main stage we’ll have Nicholas David tapping some Madri-Gras themed tunes and featuring Mark Joseph & The American Soul. Nicholas “the Feelin” David brings a soulful, Dr. John-style vibe to the stage. Nicholas was a finalist on the second season of The Voice.

Porky’s Groove Machine

Nearing a decade of trombone solo-ing and audience congas lines, they have not gone unnoticed by audiences and promoters across the Midwest; Porky’s has been chosen to support national touring acts like Guster, Here Come the Mummies, The Motet, Big Sam’s Funky Nation, The Werks, and The Main Squeeze. As winners of the 2018 Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) for “Best R&B/Soul Band,” they were one of three bands chosen to headline the sold out Wisconsin Funk Fest at Madison’s legendary Majestic Theater in January, 2018.

Nicholas David 

This songsmith became known to the world in 2012 as he performed in front of hit-making judges and television audiences during “The Voice.” Finishing third, his performances set him apart from the pack. David and his Feelin Band have released eight studio albums and toured nationally and internationally, sharing the stage with the Avett Brothers, Rusted Root, and Jackson Browne.

Mark Joseph & The American Soul 

Mark Joseph’s 2021 third full-length album, Vegas Motel, is a highly personal record rooted in the emotion of the year it was written (2020), yet reaching far beyond the confines of the times. Co-producer and drummer, JT Bates (Big Red Machine, Hiss Golden Messenger), and Engineer Alex Proctor (Grace Potter, Dead Man Winter), perfectly compliment the records musical tapestry further solidifying Joseph’s talent as a singer/songwriter and collaborator.
