4th ANNUAL RIVERWEST PUB CRAWL
Start anytime between 1PM and 5PM at 2670 N. Holton and
then do the "crawl" in any order on into the night.

In an effort to raise money for children's charities,
expose the many qualities of Milwaukee's Riverwest
neighborhood, and celebrate Milwaukee's brewing heritage,
the Riverwest Pub Crawl is once again being planned for
Saturday, March 20th.

As the biggest pub crawl in Wisconsin, 25 Riverwest taverns
will be participating in this 4th annual St. Patrick's
Weekend event. Last year more than 300 people participated,
and the proceeds amounted to more than $5,200.

This year is no different, with the YMCA Holton Youth
Center as the benefactor. Over 20 Wisconsin breweries
including Lakefront, Onopa, Sprecher, Milwaukee Ale House,
Capital, Hops Haven, Tyranena, Point, Pioneer, Augsburger,
Oconomowoc, Harbor City, New Glarus, Water Street, Gray's,
Esser's, Rock Bottom, and City Brewery are all donating to
the cause.

A $25 donation ($30 at the door) gets you a Pub Crawl 2004
Map and beer samples at each of the participating taverns.
Participants may start any time between 1 and 5pm, and then
do the "crawl" in any order throughout the night.

Tickets are available for $25 until March 19 at the
following locations: Mac's Red Eye (3865 N. Richards St.),
Dino's (808 E. Chambers St.), Circle A (932 E. Chambers
St.), Onopa Brewing Co. (735 E. Center St.), and The Gig
(1132 E. Wright St.).

The starting point is 2670 N. Holton St., where there will
be ticket sales, beer samples, and a silent auction
featuring local artwork, brewing memorabilia, gift
certificates, and more.
