How They Do It In Wisconsin

Some people wait outside in the cold overnight for cheap TVs or computers. People in Wisconsin do it for beer.

People arrived at Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee early Friday to get a shot at the limited edition Imperial Stout Aged in Bourbon Barrels. A few people even stood outside overnight.

The brewery only had 5,000 22-ounce bottles at $15 each. They were gone in less than 4 hours.

Brewery spokesman Matt Krajnak estimated around 800 people were in line up by the time the doors opened at 8 a.m., when it was snowing and about 15 degrees.

Owner Russ Klisch says Black Friday is the brewery's biggest day of the year. They also had a DJ, breakfast and - of course - tap beer.

This is the fourth year the brewery has had Black Friday beers.
