The New Fashioned Launching a New Outdoor Activation Celebrating Two Things Wisconsin Does Better than Anywhere Else: Summer and Cheese.
The Melt Yard, located at The New Fashioned in Milwaukee’s Deer District, will be a playful, high-energy outdoor space built around one of the most iconic food moments in the Midwest: the perfect cheese pull.
Guests are invited to experience Wisconsin summer through melted cheese; cold drinks, including Beren’s Brandy Old Fashioneds, Tito’s Bloody Marys, Monster Energy drinks, and shareable moments designed for social media and group gatherings. Think sweet & savory s’mores, an oversized cheese pull challenge, craveable melty grilled cheeses, cheesy photo opportunities, and backyard-style games. https://www.newfashionedmke.com/the-melt-yard.html
