Alumni Represent UC in Milwaukee

Thanks to all the Bearcat alumni and friends, including UC football legend and radio announcer Jim Kelly, who came out to join us before the Reds-Brewers game in Milwaukee last Saturday. We were thrilled to have members from both the Milwaukee and Chicago networks join us for local favs Skyline and Graeter’s to watch the Reds take a much-needed divisional win from the Brewers…in extra inning, dramatic fashion no less.

We tip our caps to the Milwaukee fans for the way they support their Brew Crew. The pre-game atmosphere around Miller Park on game-day is absolutely electric.

Congratulations to Sarah Markland, winner of the autographed Aroldis Chapman baseball, and everyone else who took home some great UC gear.

Special thanks to UC alum Nick Landers, brew master for Milwaukee’s Lakefront Brewery, brewing some of the best beer in Wisconsin since 1987. Nick treated tailgaters to a sampling of Lakefront’s finest craft brews and will be hosting a special tour for UC alumni at a future date.

Be sure to check back for details on the upcoming Lakefront Brewery Tour! Go Bearcats in Milwaukee!
