Put beer and cheese together for an event, and you've got a recipe for a Wisconsin success. Serve those two Sconnie staples up with a good cause? Even better. 

That's certainly been the case for the Milwaukee Public Market, which will once again celebrate National Dairy Month (otherwise known in Wisconsin as any of the 12 months of the year) with Moo & Brew, a local cheese, ice cream and beer tasting hosted on the second floor of the market on Thursday, June 22 from 6:30 until 8:30 p.m.

The event, co-hosted by West Allis Cheese & Sausage, features award-winning artisanal cheesemakers – including Sartori Cheese, Marieke Gouda, Roth Cheese, Carr Valley and The Artisan Cheese Exchange – and local craft brewers, including:

  • Broken Bat Brewery
  • Raised Grain Brewing Company
  • Company Brewing  
  • Enlightened Brewing Company
  • Buffalo Water Brewing

Purple Door Ice Cream will then provide the ice cream samples and tastings at Moo & Brew.

And best of all, the proceeds from the event – registration costs $20 – will go toward Hunger Task Force, Milwaukee’s free and local food bank and Wisconsin’s leading anti-hunger organization.

To register for this delectable day of dairy, visit the Milwaukee Public Market's website or call at (414) 336-1111.

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.

When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
