MEM-MKE
July 14 - 22
- We flew into Milwaukee for this trip, getting in around 9:30 PM. After picking up the rental car (a Kia Sportage) we headed to the hotel (Hampton Inn) downtown. Checked into the hotel around 10:30 and set to work finding a couple breweries to check out.
- We ended up going to Milwaukee Ale House (Milwaukee Brewing Co) where we had some really great beers: Pullchain (pale) and Louie's Demise (amber). The bar was pretty big, with two outdoor patios. We had three rounds there, then went back toward the hotel via the Riverwalk. We hadn't eaten since lunch and we were both pretty hungry and on the lookout for any place selling food. By this time it was well after midnight, so there wasn't any to be found.
- Stopped at Mo's Irish Pub for a beer. Seemed like a real skanky place with some questionable customers. We sat outside and had a couple beers. Soon after sitting down, a 25 year old blond named Katie came up and sat down at our table. We ended up hanging out with her and her boyfriend, who was shipping out to Iraq the next day. We drank beers till about 2 or 2:30 AM then called it a night and went back to the room to crash.
