When brothers David and Aaron Morrill began brewing beer, it was a hobby and a way to spend time together. Then late last year, they bought Stock House Brewing Co., 7208 W. North Ave., Wauwatosa.
Aaron had already been working there as a brewer. David’s day job is as a pharmacist in northern Illinois. The science behind the sips holds a lot of appeal to the duo, who gathered feedback by handing out samples to neighbors and friends. Bar manager Lori Sommerfeld rounds out their team, handling the website and creating her own brew: Beginner’s Luck.
Playing with ingredients and flavors is a strength at Stock House, especially when it comes to lighter fruited ales with touches of mango, currant or blackberry. Traditional amber ales and easy drinking IPAs including Smile Time have also proved popular on the newly expanded patio, which is pet friendly and now open for the season.

Honoring an unsung patriot

Raised in an era known for the trade of sugar and slaves, Wentworth Cheswill became the first African American elected to public office. Like Paul Revere, he rode as a messenger for the patriotic cause. He was also an early archaeologist who donated books and funds to establish his community’s first library. I believe his story could inspire generations, if only people knew about it.
When it occurred to me that Cheswill’s 275th birthday was on the horizon (this April), I dreamed of a community toast. Church bells would chime as families stepped from their homes to honor him in the street. Unfortunately, that was only a dream, because no one knew who he was. When I looked him up, he was marginalized as the Black Paul Revere if mentioned at all. Cheswill’s birthday would go unnoticed unless I did something about it. So, I started with my children.

Hidden in what was presented as “a world (Rochester) premier video about the wonders of our city” Thursday evening was an announcement by Rochester Mayor Kim Norton.
“I need to interrupt tonight’s special program for another special program, maybe one you weren’t expecting,” she said. “We’re here to celebrate and honor the 37th annual Mayor’s Medal of Honor winners.
The video gag on Facebook Live took the place of the tradition of luring unexpecting award recipients to a lunch at the Mayo Civic Center. This year, 19 Rochester residents were honored in 15 categories.
