Like a pile of crispy, gooey cheese curds paired with an ice cold MillerCoors beer to wash them down, this quick trip to the "Cream City" will leave you feeling satisfied, but craving more. Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has changed tremendously over the last few years, but the city’s German-American influence is still ever present.
The journey includes a trek to Packer Country to tour the infamous Lambeau Field. Along the way, you'll get a sample of two Wisconsin staples – beer and cheese.
