If you're looking for a Milwaukee-area beer garden, here's your guide

From the already-open South Shore Terrace to The Traveling Beer Garden Tour, here's your 2026 beer gardens guide:

Milwaukee County Parks and Sprecher Brewing Co. are again teaming to put on The Traveling Beer Garden. The beer gardens' mobile beer trucks are repurposed old fire trucks. Beverage options will include Sprecher beer and root beer, offerings from Third Space, New Glarus and 3 Sheeps breweries, cider, gluten-free options and non-alcoholic drinks. For food, there will be hot dogs, bratwursts, Bavarian pretzels and more. Beer garden proceeds go toward park improvements and maintenance. HOURS: 5 to 9 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
