In celebration of National Dairy Month, the Milwaukee Public Market will be rolling out the beer barrels and the cheese wheels for a beer and tasting event that you won't want to miss.

The event, aptly named Moo & Brew, will take place on Thursday, June 23 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Proceeds from the event, which will be on the market’s second floor mezzanine, will be donated to Hunger Task Force.

West Allis Cheese & Sausage will feature award-winning cheeses from cheese makers like Sartori, Henning’s, Holland’s Family Cheese, Red Barn Family Farms and The Artisan Cheese Exchange.

Cheeses will be paired with beers from some of Milwaukee’s newest breweries including MobCraft Beer, Raised Grain Brewing Company, Company Brewing and Enlightened Brewing Company.

Tickets are $15 per person and can be purchased online.
