Dairy State Cheese & Beer Fest
About the Fest
The Dairy State Cheese & Beer Fest is a celebration of Wisconsin's finest craft beverages and artisan cheeses, all in support of the Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha. Held at the iconic Brat Stop, this popular tasting event brings together local breweries, cheesemakers, and food vendors for an unforgettable evening.
Guests enjoy unlimited samples from dozens of craft breweries and Wisconsin cheesemakers, live music, and a festive atmosphere. Whether you are a craft beer aficionado or a cheese connoisseur, there is something for every palate.
