Why are the called the Brewers?
The Brewers nickname is homage to the city of Milwaukee’s famous beer industry, and could also be my favourite nickname on the list!
Why am I excited to see their city?
Milwaukee is your classic mid-western city, except it is famous for it’s breweries and also lies on the Western side of Lake Michigan.
Water sports, hanging in parks, and visiting breweries are all things I’m excited to see when I’m up here – also keen to see if that previously mentioned Minnesota nice translates just South.
What is a tradition at their ballpark?
Given the long winters, Milwaukee’s ballpark (Miller Park) has a domed roof which as you can see looks unique to other domed stadiums.
One very cool tradition is tied in with their nickname and mascot – that is partying with the guy below every time a home run is hit!
Meet BERNIE BREWER!
Oh and when I say party, I mean watch this beautiful (I assume drunk) bastard slide down Bernie’s dugout and slide. Check it out!
Who is a famous fan?
Honestly, it was really difficult to find a famous fan of the Brewers. I guess not a lot of typically famous people come from Wisconsin…. Shocker!
So let’s pretend that the entire squad of the Green Bay Packers are all fans, the NFL team that also shares the state of Wisconsin – check out these Cheeseheads below!
A fun/weird fact about the Brewers?
Although the famous baseball film starring Charlie Sheen “Major League” featured the Cleveland Indians, most of the movie’s key scenes were actually shot in Milwaukee!
Bonus facts – Whilst Milwaukee’s logo (I think it might be the alternate) that I featured above is an M.B – it also makes a baseball glove and it in my top 5 logos of the MLB (which I’ll feature in a future post)
