Milwaukee is a town of beer and a town of festivals. It's a great thing that these two items go hand in hand. On any given weekend during the warm-weather months you can find some suds at one of Milwaukee's Summer Festivals, or even at a local parish Church Festival. But in a place like Milwaukee, in a town where we celebrate everything, there are bound to be a few festivals devoted entirely to beer itself.

Check out these beer festivals happening in or near Milwaukee year-round.
