Vote For Your Favorite Milwaukee Beer at the Fest!
We all know that Milwaukee craft brewers make some of the best beer in the world and now here’s your chance to vote for your favorite Milwaukee beer. Each Milwaukee brewery will nominate (enter) up to two beers form their brewery in hopes of winning the coveted BIG FIRKIN award. Event attendees will receive upon entry a BIG FIRKIN ballot from which they will select their favorite Milwaukee craft beer. Remember to vote for you favorite beer but you can only vote once because we’re from Milwaukee, not Chicago.
