MILWAUKEE- It’s a sure sign that spring is here, summer is on the way, and warmer weather is upon us- the opening of the beer gardens in three parks.
The gardens at Whitnall, Humboldt, and Estabrook Parks all open at 4 o’clock this afternoon. The beer garden at South Shores opened up last month.
The Landing at Hoyt Park opens May 15th while the traveling beer garden opens May 8th with a stop at Juneau Park.
Since launching half a decade ago, the beer gardens have proven to be a nice boost in revenue for the Milwaukee County Parks Department. According to department leaders, last year more than 1.6 million dollars in revenue was generated through beer garden sales.
