Waukesha, WI - 5/2 - 5/6

[CJones]

I'll be in Waukesha from 5/2 - 5/6 for a training class.

Any tips on the area? Good food/beer/etc.? Any of the locals up there want to get together for dinner some night?

Milwaukee is only about 20 miles away and has several interesting places to visit including Maders, a very good German restaurant. http://www.madersrestaurant.com/

Bring warm clothing.

PBR was established in Milwaukee, maybe you can find a hot dog w/ketchup to go with it.

Go for the trifecta and do that at the Harley museum.

Personally I am not a fan of most Miller products, but they have Linenkugel at their brewery and its not to bad, so you could go tour the miller brewery. After the tour it's free beer in their beer garden.

For a beer tour I'd suggest Sprecher.

Chris will you be up there in the -7 or is this a trip in the metal tube?

Metal tube on the company dime. Luckily I got a non-stop from ATL to MKE.

Chris,

If I can pull myself away from schoolwork I'd love to do something with you. (I have a massive project presentation on the 6th. Ugh.)

Barring that, there's plenty of other things to do, since Waukesha is a 'burb of Milwaukee. Brewery tours (Miller, Sprecher, Lakefront, etc); Brewers games, the Harley museum, the Milwaukee Art Museum is good, Discovery World right next door to it is lots of fun, and if you get cold, head out to the Mitchell Park Domes so you can get a temporary tropical experience.
