Cheers to Beer!
Late last week we launched a campaign to give away a Brew City Beercation and over 850 entries have already been received. One lucky beer lover and their buddy will get the full Brew City experience with a tour from Fun Beer Tours, a beer with a brewer at Explorium Brewpub, and a one-night stay at the Brewhouse Inn & Suites. Top it all off with BOGO beers from the Brew City Beer Pass and Milwaukee swag and this winner will have a trip fit for a beer baron.
