Come join fellow Wauwatosa progressives for good conversation and good beer at one of Tosa's most gemütlich establishments, Cranky Al's.

Mike Arney of Citizens Climate Lobby will be on hand to talk about that organization. It's a good chance to talk about local engagement in the issue of climate change.

This is Drinking Liberally Wauwatosa's inaugural gathering. DLW will meet monthly on the 4th Wednesday at 6 p.m. at Cranky Al's, 6901 W. North Ave. Exception: We are not meeting on Dec. 25!
