The Traveling Beer Garden
Making Milwaukee County Parks Your Local Summer Beer Garden
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.
Brewing Company Beverages
An ever-rotating selection of Sprecher craft beer is on tap at each tour stop. While Sprecher remains the featured beverage at the TBG, we also offer options from Third Space, New Glarus, and 3 Sheeps Breweries. Cider, gluten-free options, and non-alcoholic beverages are available as well.
Bring your own Parks Beer Garden branded (or other) pint glass to pay the refill price! All standard pour pricing comes with a commemorative glass to take home.
