I was born in Milwaukee in 1980, which means I was technically around when Harvey’s Wallbangers won the American League pennant and went to the World Series. Old enough to be there. Too young to remember.
For much of my life, being a Brewers fan meant learning to love a team through some long seasons. The last decade has brought a different kind of baseball: winning teams, October hopes, and heartbreak that hurts because we’ve gotten close.
These days, I live out of state. But I want to come home to share this ride with the people who understand what it means.
I built Crewtober to help us find each other—in neighborhood taverns, corner bars, beer gardens and gathering places across Milwaukee and Wisconsin. Somewhere to pull up a chair with family, old friends, and people who’ll feel like friends by the ninth inning.
