Milwaukee County announces parks, dates for Traveling Beer Gardens
The Traveling Beer Gardens will return to Milwaukee County parks for the summer.
Two simultaneous tours are set to visit different county parks from May to September. The beer gardens are recognizable by red trucks emblazoned with the Sprecher Brewing logo, which pump beer and soda.
They will operate in addition to permanent county-run beer gardens.
“After a difficult winter, I know that so many of us are looking forward to an outdoor, physically distanced summer activity,” Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley said Monday.
The traveling and permanent beer gardens have generated more than $10 million in revenue for the county parks department since 2012, officials said.
New this year, Peruvian empanadas from the Milwaukee restaurant Triciclo Peru will be available on both tours. That’s in addition to soft pretzels and Klement’s sausages.
Triciclo Peru previously sold empanadas at Humboldt Park’s The Vine Humboldt wine and beer garden as well as on one of the two traveling tours.
