In a very 'Sconie-centric event, the Milwaukee Public Market hosts "Mooo & Brew" tonight, May 1, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
The West Allis Cheese & Sausage Shoppe, which has a sister store at the market called Taste of Wisconsin, offers up some of our state's finest cheeses to pair and taste with craft beers from Lakefront and Furthermore Breweries.
Between samples, chat with local cheesemakers as well as Pam Percy and Martin Hintz, the authors of "Wisconsin Cheese: A Cookbook and Guide to the Cheeses of Wisconsin." There's also a cooking demo by Executive Chef Jack Kaestner of Oconomowoc Lake Club.
The proceeds from this evens benefit the Hunger Task Force.
In the meantime, read our upcoming interview with Hintz about "Wisconsin Cheese."
OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Julie Lawrence grew up in Wauwatosa and has lived her whole life in the Milwaukee area.
As any “word nerd” can attest, you never know when inspiration will strike, so from a very early age Julie has rarely been seen sans pen and little notebook. At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee it seemed only natural that she major in journalism. When OnMilwaukee.com offered her an avenue to combine her writing and the city she knows and loves in late 2004, she knew it was meant to be. Around the office, she answers to a plethora of nicknames, including “Lar,” (short for “Larry,” which is short for “Lawrence”) as well as the mysteriously-sourced “Bill Murray.”
