American Family Field food options: What's new for 2022?

MILWAUKEE - We all know a trip to American Family Field to see the Milwaukee Brewers in action also means tempting your taste buds with uniquely baseball food.

There are brats, nachos, peanuts and beer. But what's new for 2022? The Brewers shared new options for the season on Tuesday, April 12. 

"Things like sausages, hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken tenders – you’re not going to necessarily recognize them anymore," said Rick Schlesinger, Brewers president of business operations.

The new food options have an upscale flare – the team partnering with Black Shoe Hospitality. Culinary experts are rebranding the concession stands with inspiration from their local restaurants – Blue's Egg, Maxie's and Storyhill BKC.

"We’re really focused on Wisconsin – bringing local brands to the party and really highlighting those things," said Executive Chef Loren Rue.

Whether you feel adventurous enough to try a breakfast sandwich at the ballpark or would rather stick to the basics, pricing is something the partners are proud of.

"With all the inflation going on the pricing is really favorable to bring your family in and be able to experience some of the offerings," said Joe Muench with Black Shoe Hospitality.

All the menu items hover around $10. American Family Field is still cashless. There is a limited menu still available for contact-less pickup.

What's new?

Sausages and hot dogs

Specialty Sausages, powered by Blue’s Egg, feature three options: Johnsonville Ultimate Bratwurst, Johnsonville Tipsy Polish Sausage and the Johnsonville Chorizo Breakfast Sandwich – chorizo sausage strips, egg, American cheese, cilantro and "Come Back!" sauce on brioche.

Further, the Italian Beef Stands will feature the Johnsonville Italian Sausage smothered with sweet peppers, giardiniera and mozzarella cheese. With the addition of the Johnsonville Chorizo Breakfast Sandwich, all five of the Famous Racing Sausages are now represented on the menu.

The four new Topped Hot Dogs powered by Story Hill BKC are not only creatively named, but also pack a delicious punch of flavors.

Wisconsin On My Mind embraces Wisconsin favorites and includes sharp cheddar, fried cheese curds, mild cheddar and ranch dressing. The Chili Cheese Dog serves up a zesty chili with cheddar, sour cream and scallions. The Badger State Dog showcases sharp cheddar, tater tots, cranberry jalapeño ketchup and chopped bacon.
