Hill Valley Dairy, which took over the Clock Shadow Creamery space in Walker’s Point in December , is bringing a new artisan cheese and cocktail bar to the building.
It will be similar to Hill Valley’s cheese bar in Lake Geneva , 512 Broad St. #510, which opened in 2022. That spot has cheese and wine pairings like the Red, White and Blue plate, served with a red and two white wines, Hill Valley’s cheddar and alpine cheeses, and a choice of blue cheese.
The Milwaukee concept will expand on the Lake Geneva menu with similar wine pairings, while adding a new craft cocktail component. Each drink on the cocktail menu can be served with a unique cheese plate pairing, according to Josie Henningfeld, who operates Hill Valley Dairy.
“We’re looking to get a pulse on the city and bring something unique and different,” she said. “The focus is cheese. We wanted to come up with cocktails for the cheeses we make.”
Henningfeld co-owns the creamery with her cheesemaker husband, Ron, and his brother, Frank, who also owns and operates the Henningfeld’s third-generation dairy farm in East Troy that supplies all the milk used for Hill Valley cheeses.
