Astor Hotel Beer and Dinner Pairing

Our Angel Fund is sponsoring another major event on April 25, 2013.  The popular “Beer and Dinner” pairing  is returning to the Astor hotel ( corner of Astor & Juneau) in Milwaukee.  A sumptuous six course dinner will be prepared by chef Nando.  Each course will be matched with a sampling of a special micro brew product from the Sprecher Brewing Company.  Doors open to the public at 6 pm; the cocktail bar and silent auction open at 7 pm, and the dinner pairing starts around 7:30 pm. 


What to do between 6 and 7 pm?  Well, why not
check out the fantastic items being offered in the silent auction.  Some of the many items open for bids include: 
Milwaukee Bucks tickets, Admirals tickets, actual sports equipment from the Brewers and the Packers, and a large flat screen TV .  


The chances of having the winning bid for any auction item are pretty good because only 80 tickets to the event are available for sale.

Between courses, in addition to enjoying Sprecher products, the crowd will be entertained by master of ceremonies Mark Metcalf, magician Ricardo Rromersi, and  troubadour Ben Merens.  At $40 per person – for a classy night on the town, a delightful dinner & beer pairing, a chance at winning some great auction items – this is a social event that just can’t be beat.  Call 414-208-1582 for more information.

One of the fundamental principles of the Masonic Angel Fund™ program is that 100% of the money raised by a local Lodge's Masonic Angel Fund™ stays in that community and goes to the kids. All overhead of the local MAF is covered by the sponsoring Lodge from its operating budget. There are few charity programs anywhere that can make such a claim.


Please call for tickets or RSVP @414-208-1582.
