Join the party when some of Dane County's most popular chefs team up with some of Southern Wisconsin's talented brewers, farmers and cheesemakers to serve up mouthwatering mini-burgers and satisfying suds.

Burgers and Brew proudly features locally grown ingredients from Wisconsin farms. Unique burgers will be specially prepared with locally raised meat or vegetables and will feature dynamite flavor combos using handcrafted Wisconsin cheeses. Wash the tasty treats down with locally-brewed beers selected to uniquely compliment each chef's creation.

A variety of burgers, veggie burgers, beers, and root beer will ensure variety and fun for all tastes.

This celebration of local burgers and local brews raises money for REAP Food Group's Buy Fresh Buy Local program. Buy Fresh Buy Local helps Southern Wisconsin restaurants find locally grown food that meets their needs. BFBL also works to help farmers connect to the restaurant market, and consumers connect to the abundance of local food in Southern Wisconsin. Help us grow our food community this summer. Come to Burgers and Brew!
