Feeling a little hungry today but not in the mood to open the wallet?
No problem, thanks to Old German Beer Hall, which is celebrating "Fred Usinger Day" by providing customers with a free Usinger's brat today.
Both the city and county have issued proclamations dedicating the day to Usinger, who founded his well-known sausage company 130 years ago and remains a fixture on Old World 3rd Street -- across the street from the Old German Beer Hall -- to this day.
The free bratwurst giveaway honors the legendary sausage-maker by with an homage to a longtime Milwaukee tradition. Bars, in Usinger's early days, often provided customers with free lunches and bar owners were willing to purchase Usinger's sausages because of their popularity with customers.
Customers can get their free bratwurst by visiting the Old German Beer Hall, 1009 N. Old World 3rd St., between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m.
