Battle of the Breweries


Battle of the Breweries Logo

Since we launched our Pop Tab Program, recycling the little aluminum tabs from cans has generated over $400,000 for our Ronald McDonald House®. We are so grateful to our community partners for making this program possible. Pop Tab collecting is an easy and thoughtful way to support our families and our environment!

As our House is located in “Brew City,”  it only made sense to partner with incredible local brewers and entrepreneurs in our community who create canned beverages to collect pop tabs. Thus in 2023, the “Battle of the Breweries” was born.

How to participate in Battle of the Breweries, both in Milwaukee & Green Bay:

  • Bring a donation of one standard sandwich bag full of pop tabs to any of the participating breweries during the competition season to receive one free beer. (One per patron, per visit).
  • The same rules apply for all participating brewery locations.
  • Our brewery participants “Pull Together” to double the donation at the end of the battle on our annual Tab Toss Days to see who will be named the Battle of the Breweries Champion!
