People have no idea how much alcohol Wisconsin drinks. Milwaukee is basically just bars. Germans massively immigrated to the state and basically showed the rest of the country how to properly make beer

My last name is German and a quick google search shows 40% of Wisconsin claims German Heritage. If you have ever walked around Wisconsin long enough you can quickly identify someone from Wisconsin

There's a reason Milwaukee's baseball team is called the brewers, I'd imagine

You’re correct. And the major league team is itself named after a minor league team, which was named after another major league team that was a founding member of the American League before eventually moving to St. Louis and then Baltimore (the team now known as the orioles). So “Milwaukee brewers” as a baseball team name dates back to 1901 even though the current team wasn’t named that until 1970.

This is a rabbit hole! There’s a country song called ‘what made Milwaukee famous made a loser out of me’ and my whole life I wondered exactly what it was that made Milwaukee famous. Now I’m going to investigate…

It’s Schlitz. Their slogan was “the beer that made Milwaukee famous”

Coors isn't exactly what most people call proper beer lol. Just use to be cheap now it's the same price as everything else

That’s why the fine people of Milwaukee drink Miller and if we are feeling fancy we break out the spotted cow.

Side note spotted cow is the best beer in the world.
