Home of Miller, Pabst, Schlitz, and Blatz, Freodhert Malt, and we have our very own yeast factory? Briess Malt is right up the highway and the countless other breweries in the state
Our baseball team is the Brewers.
I'm willing to bet more beer is consumed here then water and Schnaps and Brandy are probably 2 and 3 on the most consumed liquid list. (we are also the worlds leading Brandy consumers)
In the older parts of town it's not uncommon to see a tavern on every block (usually someone's converted living room).
Here if you only have 1 beer a month you must be a mormon, quaker, or muslim or someother group that doesnt drink.
5 or more drinks on one occasion is just warming up if ya are down on Water St. or at one of the local summer festivles
With our tax rate here you have to drink and party, otherwise all you would do is cry
In the winter we dont even consider it alchohol, it's antifreeze
It keeps us from shooting all the F.I.B.'s
How else do you explain electing 3 Socialist mayors, our current Senators and our Govenor?
When I was a kid I remember going downtown with my dad to the Brwery Credit union early inthe morning then over to Schiltz to pick up his free beer (plant of the month always got 2 cases of free beer and his plant was always the plant of the month) and complaining about the smell of all the malt, yeast, and wort. . . now I hover over my brew kettle and sniff my carboys and heading down to Miller Valley just because I'm bored.
Now if we just had a distillery or 2 I could die a happy man and never worry about the afterlife because I would have already been in heaven.

See now, I thought their definition of 'heavy drinker' was a bit crazy. 2 drinks a day is a 'heavy drinker'. Hell, aren't their medical studies that say that a couple drinks (usually wine) a night is GOOD for you?
I also thought it might be interesting to see the questions asked. I know that there are regional differences in how people talk about things (or dont' talk about things) and it might be interesting to see if the questons are subtly slanted to midwesterners.

Agree completely with everything Pumbaa says. Milwaukee's festivals alone count for most any other large cities yearly beer consumption. Anyone have stats on how much beer flows at Summerfest?
Other Milw. Breweries I can think of are Sprecher, Lakefront, another new-ish one I can't think of. And a brand new brewery I've heard rumors of...Milwaukee Brewing Co.
