A variation on the venerable Golden Shower, the Milwaukee Shower can only be performed after consuming several 40-oz bottles of Milwaukee's finest. Noted for its greenish-orange hue and sulfer/ass overtones, beers from this delightful city yield a vigorous urine stream of pure battery acid.
Wes: Hey honey, are you up for some watersports tonight? I can run down to the corner store for a six-pack of Beast.
Sharon: I might, but only if you buy an imported wheat beer. My skin is still recovering from last Friday's Milwaukee Shower!
