Our Northern Correspondent Bryan Born is at it again. This time he visited an open house at the Milwaukee Brewing Company. Watch for more of his travels and reports coming soon.
Milwaukee Brewing Company Open House
The event was held inside Milwaukee Brewing company’s brewery, which I thought was pretty cool. We paid for admission and were allowed to wander around their brewery and drink unlimited beer during the two-hour event. We were even allowed to keep the pint glass we drank out off all night!
Then, there was the brewery tour. The full tour makes four stops around the brewery. Our tour guide was named Grizz, probably because he had a pretty nice beard. The beer lovers in attendance were given an abridged version of the brewery’s history and how beer is made. The group was taken up to see the tanks and finished off with a more hands demonstration of what goes in the beer.
Normally when I go to events like this, there is more than one brewery from which to sample beers. This one was different because of the location. Before tonight, I had not partaken of a lot of Milwaukee Brewing’s beers, with the exception of their Hop Happy IPA. So, I was genuinely excited to have the opportunity to personally examine their portfolio. I was very pleased with all of the beers I was able to try and will think twice about passing up the local beer for more “exotic” or rare IPAs that always seem to find spots in my beer fridge.
Cheers Milwaukee!
