MILWAUKEE (WITI) – Due to popular demand, the Milwaukee County Parks Traveling Beer Garden will be adding an additional stop to the 2014 tour schedule. The added seventh stop will return to where it began at Picnic Area #1 on the Root River Parkway, in the Whitnall Park area, near 92nd St. and College Ave.

“The Traveling Beer Garden tour with our partner, Sprecher Brewing, has been a phenomenal success,” said Parks Director John Dargle, Jr. “We have exceeded all of our expectations, and our patrons have been requesting more opportunities to visit this summer.”

The tour will continue with the sixth at Falk Park. A ceremonial keg tapping will take place on Wednesday, August 13 at 4 p.m. Patrons can enjoy live music and free Sprecher beer and root beer, while supplies last.  Falk Park is located at 2013 W. Rawson Ave. in Oak Creek.
