Class of 2021: East Troy’s Yearbook Superlatives By Vanessa Lenz ET CHAMBER OF COMMERCE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
In a year that brought a long list of obstacles, the East Troy community more than responded to the challenge. We thought it would be fun to immortalize some of this year’s standouts with coveted senior yearbook superlatives. Thanks to our Class of 2021 for keeping us inspired, well fed, informed and distracted.
BUSIEST BEE
Ayla Guild, The Hive Taproom Pivoting from equine veterinarian to beekeeper doesn’t just happen overnight, but as The Hive Taproom owner Ayla Guild has found, it does require a lot of hard work and resiliency. Ayla’s love affair with bees began in 2017, a year before she and husband Tim Guild opened The Hive Taproom in summer of 2018. The Guilds said the timing was right for the business with the popularity of craft beer in the area and the resurgence of interest in mead (produced by fermenting honey with
water and adding other ingredients). The meadery, located at W2463 County Road ES, uses only local, raw, unfiltered honey to make its mead and relies heavily on local bees. Ayla said she was immediately attracted to the idea of learning the ancient craft. “I wanted to learn how to keep bees not only for the honey, but mostly to keep them healthy. As a veterinarian, I have a soft spot for animals who are struggling and when honey bees made national news for Colony Collapse Disorder, I knew I wanted to get involved.” After studying under Dan O’Leary of Honey Valley Beekeeping, Ayla has established herself as a local heavyweight in the industry. She currently manages 50 hives, of which about a third are located on property next to Honey Creek. Ayla and friends planted over 250 native Wisconsin perennials in the pollinator garden next to the Taproom that she continues to expand. The Hive’s honey is for sale inside the Taproom.

New brewer breaks barriers in craft beer scene
By Vanessa Lenz
Grab a glass
ET CHAMBER OF COMMERCE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
This spring East Troy Brewery named Shay Leamon as head brewer at its operation, which occupies the northwest corner of the East Troy Village Square, and so far, it’s been a game changer. Leamon grew up in Wisconsin, but definitely serves some cool and laid-back West Coast vibes. Her unique style in the beer scene feels authentic. Leamon doesn’t make a big deal out of being a leader in the male-dominated world of craft beer (even though she’s happy to represent a foot in the door for women). “There are a lot of people who are surprised that I make the beer,” Leamon said. According to Leamon, only about 4 percent of craft breweries have a female head brewer at the helm. Women have long held roots in brewing, but after the 1500s, brewing transformed into a commercial operation led by men, Leamon explained. While working in an industry that remains majority male run, Leamon also stands out because she doesn’t fight for the spotlight. “I want my beer to speak for itself,” she explained. “I’d rather focus on making really solid products that I’m happy with.” But that’s not to say she doesn’t take beer seriously; there’s lots of knowledge and passion in her work, too. Leamon, who has been making waves in craft brewing for years, really cares about beer whether it’s discussing the trending fascination with new beer styles, understanding beer history or mulling over complexities from aroma to texture to flavor. “I am always reading books, looking at blogs, reading articles and seeing what’s going on in the industry – what’s new, what’s not working,” Leamon said. “It’s important to be on top of it as much as possible, there’s a lot of science behind what we do, and you have to get it right.”
A Career in Beer

Where: East Troy Brewery, 2905 Main St.
Hours: Wednesday, Thursday from 4 to 10 p.m. (kitchen closes at 9 p.m.), Friday and Saturday from noon to 10 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. Info: etbrew.com or (262) 642-2670
Shay Leamon is the new head brewer at East Troy Brewery and is currently focused on creating the perfect beer and food pairings for the foodie-friendly destination. SARAH MANKE Good Neighbors
brewing a decade ago, Leamon quickly went to work learning everything she could from the best in the business across the state. After volunteering at the group that eventually became Fox Town Brewery, Leamon honed her love of producing great craft beer at breweries like Inventors Brew Pub in Port Washington and Third Space in Milwaukee. With roots in West Bend, Leamon said she’s always felt connected to Wisconsin’s local craft beer scene. “Milwaukee has always been beer centric. Having Miller Pabst in the city already made people very interested in beer and the scene has just evolved with time,” she said of the “hot” factor of the craft drink market. “The more microbreweries that pop up, that’s not competition, that’s friends and it’s building that culture in Milwaukee (and Southeastern Wisconsin).” Leamon said East Troy was exactly what
Thanks to our Corporate Partners! Chairman Level ($2,500)
she was looking for. “Size wise, it gave me the flexibility to be the brewer and have the independence for recipe writing, but also have that restaurant aspect that gave me more interaction with customers,” she said.
Now on Tap
Now that she’s running the beer show at East Troy Brewery, Leamon is already making brews that you want to drink again and again, including Because Dinosaurs, a fast fan favorite, and Helles of Troy, a nice German lager that is best after a long day. Leamon said she’s focused on creating the perfect beer and food pairings for the foodiefriendly brewery. “I’m really focusing on what pairs nicely with the restaurant and having things that complement our menu here,” she said. Since opening its doors in December of 2019 in a re-purposed bank building dating
back to 1892, the brewery’s majority owners Ann and Ted Zess, along with head chef Ashley Turner, have built an audience of people on the hunt for new experiences. The East Troy food destination’s freshly madefrom-scratch menu features tasty options for the whole family. Leamon said she was also drawn to East Troy Brewery because it has a penchant for local and making brews sourced from local ingredients is a big priority. “I’m trying to put a lot of focus on using Wisconsin products whether that’s Wisconsin grains or Wisconsin hops,” she said. Leamon said she is also prioritizing meeting brewers in the area and establishing her network. “I think it’s really important for all of us to build off of each other,” she said. “It’s really important to visit other breweries and see what people are doing in the area and see what people are doing across the nation.” Her network includes being a member of the Pink Boots Society, a nonprofit created to support and educate women in the brewing industry. • CONTINUED ON PAGE 10
