MILWAUKEE — Monday, Feb. 23, is Fred Usinger Day in Milwaukee, in recognition of Usinger's over 140-year legacy in the community.
In honor of the 19th annual celebration, one free Usinger sausage per person will be given out from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Old German Beer Hall, while supplies last.
Sausage lovers will enjoy a custom recipe smoked bratwurst made with Hofbräu Dunkel Lager beer and Applewood Smoked Bacon. The “OGBH” Brat is a match made in Sausage Heaven.
Milwaukee’s enthusiasm for sausage is expected to bring over 1,000 guests throughout the day for a free Usinger bratwurst.
Since 1880, Usinger "wurstmachers" have set the standard for sausage making in Milwaukee, combining Old World craftsmanship with a commitment to quality ingredients.
Today, Usinger’s remains a cherished institution, still family-owned and operated, bringing generations together through their time-honored recipes and dedication to excellence.
Live music will be available throughout the day, and then at 6 p.m., Fredrick "Fritz" Usinger IV himself will tap a wooden keg of Hofbräu Munich beer. Those in attendance will have the chance to enjoy a sample of this celebratory brew.
The Usinger retail store, located directly across the street from Old German Beer Hall, will feature specials to mark the occasion.
