I’m excited to see the Milwaukee County Traveling Beer Garden back in South Milwaukee!
The Grant Park run is from June 25 through July 26, again making it part of our city’s July 4th celebration. See you there!
Beer gardens are a tradition brought to Wisconsin by German brewers in the 1850s – they’re outdoor areas where beer and food are served, typically at shared tables shaded by trees. The Traveling Beer Garden tours transform parks into temporary beer gardens May through September, for about two weeks at a time. Restored fire trucks were converted into mobile beer trucks, serving up craft beers, and more. The Traveling Beer Garden is managed by Milwaukee County Parks in partnership with Sprecher Brewery. Revenue from the beer gardens goes back into improving the parks.
