WEST ALLIS, Wis. (October 18, 2026) – Kegel’s Inn will show every game of the Milwaukee Brewers‘ World Series run FREE on a giant outdoor screen in its historic beer garden, starting with Game 1 on Friday, October 23 at 7 p.m. CT. Admission is free and open to the public, and no ticket is required.

The beer garden sits about one mile from American Family Field. Watch parties are scheduled for every game of the series, with Games 5, 6 and 7 added if the series goes that long.

A World Series Watch Party Just Down the Road from the Stadium

The Brewers are back in the World Series for the first time since 1982. Kegel’s Inn is turning its beer garden into a gathering place for fans throughout the series, with a giant outdoor screen, communal picnic tables and glowing string lights.

“We’ve spent more than 100 years bringing people together over good food and cold beer,” said Julian Kegel, fourth-generation owner of Kegel’s Inn. “And now, with the Brewers back in the World Series for the first time in 44 years, there’s no better reason to get together. We’re just a mile from the energy of the stadium, and we want to bring that same excitement into our beer garden. Whether you’re a lifelong Brewers fan or just looking to be part of this historic Milwaukee moment, everyone’s welcome.”

A Ballpark Menu, the Friday Fish Fry and Cold Beer

For the series, Kegel’s Inn is adding a Ballpark Menu alongside its signature German food, including bratwurst, pretzels, cheese curds and other beer garden favorites. The legendary Friday Fish Fry will be served during Friday’s watch parties. German and domestic beers are available, and all food and drinks are available for purchase with full service.

Seating

Admission is free, and most of the beer garden is first come, first served. A select number of tables can be reserved at kegelsinn.com/reservations for 6:00, 6:15 or 6:30 p.m. A reserved table is good for the entire game, with full service. Reservations are held for 20 minutes, then the table is released to walk-in guests. Tables seat eight, so on busy nights guests may be seated together.
