Stevens Point and Wausau | Sister Cities of the Pinery
Sat Sep 30 2023 at 02:00 pm – Marathon County Historical Society, 410 McIndoe St. From the moment the pineries opened for logging interests in the 1830s, the areas now known as Stevens Point and Wausau have been linked. George Stevens, Point Brewery, and UW-Stevens Point all have connections to their northern neighbors that run deep in camaraderie, and sometimes, in fierce competition.

Forward Beverage Co.
Forward Beverage is a non-alcoholic lounge, so none of the cocktails they serve contain alcohol. Paul Yanzer gave up drinking alcohol a number of years ago, and when he and as wife Amy go out goes out to eat, for instance, it pretty much means he’s going to be drinking water. Paul has his beverages down to a science, literally. Paul is a chemist and a physicist. He managed research and development at Octopi Brewing in Waunakee. Through that company, he worked with a number of brands and helped them develop their flavor. Forward Beverage Co. is located at 303 N. Third Street. Their hours are 11 am-6 pm Tues.-Sat.
