Cheers to Flourchild Pizza (722 N. Milwaukee St.) for helping raise money for the cancer battle of Stephanie Vetter, co-owner of 1840 Brewing Company. When you order an 1840 Style pizza this week, $10 goes to Vetter. Flourchild is also donating $1 from every 1840 beer sold. Very cool.
It’s time to pick your Milwaukee favorites for the year!
