Beer Gardens: County Announces 2022 Traveling Garden Schedule

MILWAUKEE COUNTY, WI — Milwaukee County Parks announced its 2022 schedule for traveling beer gardens across the county.

The beer gardens are run by two fire trucks that have been restored and converted into mobile beer trucks, the beer garden website says. The roving gardens serve up craft beers, plus other beverages, the county's website for the gardens says.

Two simultaneous tours have been planned, and all revenue collected goes back to improve county parks, the county site says.

You'll be able to expect the old fire trucks to show up on certain days at parks like Froemming Park in Franklin, Grant Park in South Milwaukee, Doctor's Park in Fox Point and others. Here are the full schedules for each tour:
