According to greatbrewers.com, the presenting sponsor, "the primary goal of Milwaukee Beer Week is to enhance beer knowledge and appreciation through a series of events in the great city of Milwaukee, Wis."
Indeed, this once-trade-show-type industry event has evolved and this year it's full of events, tastings, a big 25th anniversary for Sprecher and much more.

And, don't forget about the "first annual Oktoberfest Extravaganza" at Von Trier this weekend. It will work very well, in concert, with the big East Side Tomato Romp and Bloody Mary contest.
A life-long and passionate community leader and Milwaukeean, Jeff Sherman is a co-founder of OnMilwaukee.
He grew up in Wauwatosa and graduated from Marquette University, as a Warrior. He holds an MBA from Cardinal Stritch University, and is the founding president of Young Professionals of Milwaukee (YPM)/Fuel Milwaukee.

He owns a condo in Downtown and lives in greater Milwaukee with his wife Stephanie, his son, Jake, and daughter Pierce. He's a political, music, sports and news junkie and thinks, for what it's worth, that all new movies should be released in theaters, on demand, online and on DVD simultaneously.
He also thinks you should read OnMilwaukee each and every day.
