Best Place Welcomes Lance's Brewery Tour Stop To Fight Autism

-
Tomorrow, February 11, beer lovers of Milwaukee have a great opportunity to celebrate beer and help a great cause at the same time - exactly the type of event GMM endorses. Beer historian Lance Rice, whose autism has given him a photographic memory of beer history but also kept him from sharing that knowledge for years, will be at Best Place for an event called  "Beer. Autism. Hope. Milwaukee." At the event you can meet Lance and during it Best Place will make donations to Lance's autism charity called Lance's Room.

Rice will meet privately with visitors from 1 to 5 p.m. At 5 p.m., the event becomes a fundraiser for the public. Best Place will donate $1 for each beer sold to Lance's Room. A panel of beer and beer history experts will challenge Rice about beer trivia. Tours of Best Place (usually $8) will be given for donations of $5, $10 and $20 to Lance's Room.


Lance’s Brewery Tour is being planned as both a film and a book. The film will cover his dream-come-true tour of breweries across America and the creation of his book about the history and culture our breweries. The movie is also a feature length documentary about Lance’s inspiring journey from being a “low-functioning” child to overcoming the odds and becoming an author who hopes help others with autism. Some of the nation's most renowned breweries are supporting Lance in his quest including Milwaukee's MillerCoors and the Milwaukee Brewfest (one of the destinations filmed for the movie). The full list of partners is here.

Though he is sharing his love and knowledge of breweries, the end goal is bigger.The Lance's Room charity seeks to help others with autism achieve their dreams and provide support to families touched by autism. They work with schools, colleges and organizations that offer job training to the disabled community to establish scholarships and funds in Lance’s name.

This is a great opportunity to help a great organization in the most man-friendly of ways. Just by visiting and drinking at Best Place you will help fund Lance's Room and their goals. So come on out tomorrow for a great night of great men and great beer, I'll be there of course - it truly will be the Best Place you can be in Milwaukee tomorrow night.

Hey look quick, its kids being active! It is all too common for us to bemoan the sedentary lifestyle of modern children and there are many efforts to increase their level of activity. At the same time, we condemn physical activities we once did as youths with no thought of safety. It is understandable that we want to protect our kids and promote safe practices like wearing of helmets. But how do we reconcile our concerns of safety while also promoting physical activity? One of the best ways is to create and maintain safe spaces for them to do the activities. In Wauwatosa they are doing just that with a new skate park being planned in Hart Park. With the assistance of Tosa Skateboarders United , TSU, and the  Jack Doyle Memorial Challenge Grant funds have been raised to build a new skate park that will provide a dedicated, safe place for skaters in the city to, well, skate.
