Reader Submission #11

Milwaukee, aside from being “Algonquian for the good land” is also known as the City of Festivals.  Every weekend of the summer we have a different festival, many of which are ethnic themed.  Next to our famed Summerfest, two festivals are especially beer laden.  Germanfest and Irish Fest.  (Go figure, right?  And I’m both German and Irish, so shuttie).

This open letter was submitted to an Irish Fest faithful.  Let all ye be warned.  Do not attempt to pry a beer from the hand of a Milwaukee Irish lassie.

Dear Irish Fest,

Have the planners lost their minds?  Why did you take away the only GOOD cheap beer? How could you do that to us?  We are there every day of the festival, each and every year, and therefore are already spending a butt load on beer.  Did you really have do away with the one beer with actual FLAVOR that did not require five tickets!?!

Our hearts are broken, our pockets are empty and we aren’t nearly as drunk as we should be.
