Spring has sprung and beer garden season is headed our way!
On Thursday morning Sprecher Brewery and Milwaukee County Parks announced the 2025 schedule for their popular annual Traveling Beer Garden tour.
As always, the former fire engine and its trailers will serve products from Sprecher and other local breweries at eight Milwaukee County Parks this summer beginning in May and pouring all the way up to September.
Here's the full schedule:
- May 14-18 – Wilson Park
- May 21 to June 8 – Greenfield Park
- June 11-22 – Cooper Park
- June 25 to July 6 – Grant Park
- July 9-20 – McCarty Park
- July 23 to Aug. 3 – Lake Park
- Aug. 6-17 – Doctors Park
- Aug. 20 to Sept. 1 – Sheridan Park
There will be free beer and root beer on the first day at each park, while supplies last.
The mobile summer hangout will also cook up traditional beer garden eats – such as pretzels, brats, sausages and other snackables – and host live local music at each stop throughout the season.
For updates on the food menus and performance lineups, check Traveling Beer Garden's website.
The Traveling Beer Garden will be open weekdays from 5 to 9 p.m. as well as Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. For more info, click here – and stay tuned to OnMilwaukee for more beer garden updates on tap as summer approaches.
