The Micro

Milwaukee: where Miller Lite flows freer than the tap water
And even water — unless you’re braving the festival bubbler — generally isn’t free at larger-​scale events: think your ethnic and street festivals, your Summerfest, the State Fair… it’s easier to hunt down a Miller Lite at any one of these events than it is to snag water, generally speaking.
MY POINT IS THAT MILLER LITE IS EVERYWHERE AT ALL THE OUTDOOR THINGS ALL SUMMER LONG
enter: the Micro at State Fair — a sweet, sweet hang dedicated to Wisconsin craft beer, period. Lakefront! Central Waters! MKE Brewing! Leinie’s! New Glarus! Point! (The list goes on…)
6.50 for a Miller Lite/​High Life
7.50 for anything at the Micro Tent
… you do the math!
Plus, it’s a great spot to hang and if you «kill the keg» you win a t-​shirt and the bartenders draw an obscene amount of attention to you.

A nice place to get out of the sun at State Fair. A nice selection of delicious beer. The Micro has a large amount of seating, high tables with 4 bar stools, and I have always been able to find a seat. The beer is $ 7.50 each, which is pricey for a glass of beer. However, a Miller Lite or Coors sells for $ 6.50 at the fair. I’d rather pay a dollar more for a much better beer.

Awesome beers and decent prices for at the fair. The staff is fairly knowledge and are willing to chat if not too busy.

*** to the tune of the Cheers theme song ***
Making your way through the fair today takes everything you’ve got.
Taking a break from all the fried foods, a burp would help a lot.
Wouldn’t you like to kill a keg?
So go to The Micro!
Where someone just might know your name,
and on TV there’s a game.
You wanna beer that don’t taste like pee,
the flavors aren’t all the same
Kill a keg then everybody’ll know
your name.

The Micro is where beer lovers rejoice at the Wisconsin State Fair. It’s also a nice respite from the swirling, deep-​fried madness on a stick that is the Fair. In a pub-​like setting, it’s a good place to pull up a stool, try a Wisconsin craft beer and check in on the game. If you’re lucky, get the last glass of beer from a keg and get a KEG KILLER t-​shirt along with the enduring admiration of your fellow swillers.
They even have wi-​fi.
The Micro. My favorite hangout at the Wisconsin State Fair.
Cheers!
