Brew City

Slang term for Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Originally came of use when the city was home to four of the largest breweries in the United States (Miller, Pabst, Blatz & Schlitz).

Today, brewing only represents a fraction of the city's economy as only Miller continues to operate. As such, the term Brew City is considered by many to be outdated as the younger generations prefer terms such as "Mil Town," "Cream City," and "The Mil." In fact, saying "Brew City" today usually marks the user as someone who is out-of-touch and probably from the suburbs (if not familiar with the area at all).

"What's going on in the Brew City tonight?"

"You're not from around here, are you?"

brew city flood

"The Brew City Flood" the common phrase for the epic flash flood that took place in milwaukee wisconsin, and in other parts of southeastern wisconsin in the summer of 2010.

There were sink holes in the streets.

There was so much water that you couldnt tell where lake michigan end or where it started.

Homes were flooded out, and thousands lost power for days.

Imagine being able to swim in the middle of the street.

dude from oak creek: hey look outside, there's so much water i can swim in it.

another guy from oak creek: yeah dude imma go get my boogie board.

smart chick from milwaukee: umm...you do know there's shit in that water.
