Milwaukee churches seek unlimited beer licenses amid suit
Eight Roman Catholic churches in Milwaukee have applied for unlimited beer licenses prompting a lawsuit by the Wisconsin Tavernkeepers Association. The group argues such licenses would flood the market and draw drinkers from taverns, while church officials say the licenses would merely cover bingo events. The dispute highlights Milwaukee's brewing culture and the tension between religious groups and local tavern businesses.
