New American Family Field restaurant; 'J. Leinenkugel's Barrel Yard'
MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Brewers revealed on Monday, Dec. 12 that the former "Restaurant To Be Named Later" at American Family Field is being re-imagined – and will soon open as J. Leinenkugel’s Barrel Yard.
A news release says the working brewery will feature specialty beer brewed onsite by the Master Brewers at Leinenkugel’s, as well as a full-service bar and restaurant experience, overlooking left field at American Family Field.
"The entirety of the restaurant is completely re-formed – all-new decor, all the fixtures. Basically, as you can tell, this is down to the studs. And so we're completely re-imagining the space," said Rick Schlesinger, Brewers President of Business Operations.

A new feature at J. Leinenkugel’s Barrel Yard includes a three-barrel brewing system upon entry. The brewing equipment is designed to craft specialty beers available only at American Family Field. Fans enter through newly constructed garage doors that provide a wider space to connect to the ballpark experience, and order from the new 27-foot bar. Joining the main bar overlooking the field, both bars collectively feature 48 brews on tap, in addition to domestic and imports available.

"This is certainly a demonstration of the strength of our partnership. It's it showcases what two partners can do. One in baseball and one in beer. And they come together and deliver on the creative spirit that we have," said Tony Bugher, President of Leinenkugel's. "So get excited for this. We're looking forward to it. And we'll see you all on opening day."
For private events, the fully renovated Brew Room, located in left-center field within the Barrel Yard, features indoor and outdoor seating for groups up to 50 people to rent on game days and non-game days.
