The Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Co. of Chippewa Falls will offer its Sunset Wheat beer for sale on all Delta Air Lines flights starting this month.

Leinenkugel's says the offering of Sunset Wheat marks Delta's first craft beer offering.

The brewer introduced Sunset Wheat into Upper Midwest markets in 2006. It's now available across the country as Leinenkugel's expands its scope.

The brewery is owned by Milwaukee-based Miller Brewing Co.

That company is set to pair up with Molson Coors Brewing Co. next month in a joint venture aimed at competing against industry leader Anheuser-Busch Cos.

Executives at the new MillerCoors say they plan to focus on premium segments, including craft brands such as Leinenkugel's
