    Going to a bachelor party in Milwaukee on Tuesday. Most of us are beer guys. Any suggestions for a Tuesday?

    Depends how large of a group and if there's any non-beer people...my ideal "beer bar crawl" would be completely focused on Bay View, jumping from Burnhearts to Sugar Maple to Roman's to Palm Tavern...

    I had a mix of beer/non-beer people at my bachelor party. We started out with a brewery tour at Lakefront, then jumped to a couple other Mke bars, went to Spin (now EVO), and got some foot/drinks at Hinterland. All those places were accessible to non-beer dorks, but still really fun places with mostly good beer selection. Have fun!

    Bar Louie downtown has dollar burgers on Tuesdays. They also have quite a few taps. If I'm downtown on a Tuesday night, I usually hit that place up for food.

    If you want to hit up an awesome Brewery tour (one of the best in the country), check out Lakefront Brewery. You can buy tickets online.

    If you just want to bar hop, Bay View is where most of the gems are at. Sugar Maple, Burnhearts, and Palm Tavern are all great. In other areas of the city there is Landmark 1850, Benno's, Roman's, Stubby's, Rumpus Room. Sanford has amazing food and a great beer cellar, but it's a super high end place.

    Also, if you do any of my suggestions...

    1) Don't mix drinking with Hinterland fish tacos
    2) Don't compete in a dance-off with a bachelorette party. You will always lose
    3) Don't chug cognac in between beers
    4) Don't throw up in church the next morning from a killer hangover

    Thanks for the input. Lakefront is probably on the agenda. Sugarmaple and hi hat lounge are the only bars I've been to in Milwaukee.

    If you are going to stick to Bayview, a tour of MKE Brewing might be closer than Lakefront. Awesome tour and beers are a tick better.

    I was going to suggest that too, but I think they only do tours on Friday and Saturday.

    Are you saying MKE's beers are better than lakefront? I am going to whole heartedly disagree with that. I personally think that MKE makes some of the worst, mass produced beer, in the state. Every single thing I've ever had of theirs has been meh!

    How could a bachelor party pub crawl ending at Roman's possibly go wrong?

    Whatever you do, please have the entire group go to Roman's, each pay on separate cards, and ask for a couple pitchers of Spotted Cow. Please?

    Also let us know when you're going to be there so we can all watch the carnage.
