Keg Tappings, Souvenir Pint Glasses & Live Music To Return to County Parks Beer Gardens
Milwaukee – Spring weather has been slow to arrive in Milwaukee, but that won’t delay the start of beer garden season in the county, which returns fully this month with the season openings of several beer gardens.
This year, keg tappings with free beer (while supplies last) will once again be held at the season openings and the popular parks-branded glassware will also return – which also means beer gardeners can bring their own pint and stein glasses again.
Whitnall Beer Garden in Greendale will open on Friday, April 22 at 4pm with a keg tapping. A total of 24 beers will be available this season, from breweries including Fox River Brewing, War Pigs, Explorium, Eagle Park Brewing, MobCraft Brewing, MillerCoors and Sprecher Brewing Company.
Whitnall Beer Garden will open from 4-9 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Last call at 8 p.m. To view the live music schedule visit www.whitnallbeergarden.com
