Ellie here. Today’s the day, Wisconsin.

The Milwaukee Brewers embark on their World Series journey this evening. They’ll take on the Tampa Bay Rays at 7 p.m. at American Family Field.

This is the first time the Brewers have been to the World Series since 1982.

If you’re headed to the game, a great way to get there and avoid the traffic is by shuttle. There are tons of bars and restaurants in the Milwaukee area that offer shuttle services to and from the game.

After moving to Milwaukee in May, my boyfriend and I have been to a lot of Brewers’ games and we usually take a shuttle. It’s great!

Or, if you’re not going to the game, don’t fret. In the Milwaukee area specifically, there are tons of watch parties where you can still catch the game in a lively environment.

I’ll be headed to a watch party this evening. I can’t wait. Go Brewers!

Two of my favorite Wisconsin views are the fall colors and a beautiful sunset. What’s better than a combination of the two?

Here’s a great photo of just that, from our reader Jim C.

This week, in honor of the start of the World Series, here are some sports bars our readers love that are perfect to watch the game:

📍Matty’s Bar & Grille, New Berlin

“Matty’s Sports Bar in New Berlin, WI, started as a hole in the wall bar and gradually turned into an amazing sports bar it is today. Food is awesome, staff is awesome and they have the secret Pizza Burger recipe from the old drive in that was by the famous Muskego Beach Amusement park!” — Debe Z.

📍1919 Kitchen & Tap, Green Bay

“1919 located within the sacred walls of Lambeau Field is part of the bucket list experience of true sports fans offering 40 beers on tap and delicious cheese curds among other tasty treats.” — Jayne B.

📍PJ’s Cabin Store, Solon Springs

“Big screen TV’s, always Brewers Packers, Badgers. Bottom fill tap beer perfect poor everytime. Great Food. Packer games free food. Close to MN border so prepare for Viking fans.” — Dominic S.

Next week, I want to hear about 
your favorite spots for cheese curds! Hit reply to have your pick featured.
