Harley hosts legend’s son to celebrate Knievel exhibit
The Harley-Davidson Museum will host a meet and greet session with Evel’s son, Kelly Knievel on Saturday, July 17, to celebrate the launch of the Evel Knievel exhibit at the museum.
The discussion session with Knievel is $10 for members and $12 for non-members and begins at 7 p.m. Space is limited and reservations are required. The Museum has also partnered with Milwaukee’s Lakefront Brewery to produce a special, limited edition beer call True Evel Daredevil Ale and will also
“We wanted to make something that sort of resembled Evel himself,” said Russ Klisch, president of Lakefront Brewery, Inc. “The beer has a very bold malty flavor and is balanced well with hops.”
According to Klisch the beer is also aggressive with a 7.2 percent alcohol by volume content.
“It’s not very weak,” he said. “I don’t think Evel would have wanted it that way either.”
The beer will be sold in 22 ounce bottles at the museum’s Motor Bar & Restaurant as well as selected area retailers, Klisch said.
The label on the beer also features a coupon for $4 off the admission price to the museum exhibit.
