Ask OMC: Why do Bloodys come with beer chasers?

In much of the country, the Bloody Mary is a lightly regarded brunch concoction. In Wisconsin, it has a deeper, almost religious significance. Cheeseheads love the combination of vodka, tomato juice and spices and they love having it served with a small glass of beer. In fact, they're offended if they don't get one. Have you ever stopped to wonder when, how and why the tradition started? We did.
