🌱 Madison Brewers 'Brew For Ukraine' + Adopt A Pot-Bellied Pig!

Morning, people of Madison! It's me again, Sean Peek, your host of the Madison Daily.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and very cold. High: 24 Low: 20.

Here are the top three stories today in Madison:

1. Earlier this week, representatives from Madison breweries came together to discuss their upcoming "Brew for Ukraine" efforts. The Madison-area group plans to brew at least five beers in an upcoming "Victory Series" based on recipes from the Pravda Brewery of Lviv, Ukraine. The Victory Series will be released at a beer festival on Apr. 24 at the Wisconsin Brewing Company, and will also be available at local bars. Proceeds from the beverages will go to Ukraine relief efforts. (Isthmus)
