The May edition of Food & Wine has a nice toast to Milwaukee in an article from Jim Meehan.
Meehan says he used to visit "Milwaukee once a year when (he) went to college in Wisconsin, mainly to check out sausage races at County Stadium (now Miller Park) and earn (his) "I closed Wolski's" bumper sticker. But now, (he) goes there for the cocktails."
And, who can blame him? His piece toasts our city "known for Pabst Blue Ribbon and Schlitz" but says Milwaukee also "has a surprisingly awesome cocktail culture." Of course, we already know this.
He mentions Bryant's, Distil (one of his "best bars in America"), Great Lakes Distillery, The Hamilton and Bittercube.

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.
Early in his career, Sherman was one of youngest members of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and currently is involved in numerous civic and community groups - including board positions at The Wisconsin Center District, Wisconsin Club and Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. He's honored to have been named to The Business Journal's "30 under 30" and Milwaukee Magazine's "35 under 35" lists.
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.
