According to a post on its website, Bend, Oregon-based Deschutes Brewery will bring its Street Pub tour of outdoor events to Milwaukee on Saturday, July 22.

A location for the event, slated to run from 2 until 10 p.m., has not yet been announced. Deschutes calls the event, "an outdoor pub of epic proportions that we bring to town for one day."

"We’re excited to bring our pub to Milwaukee for one day," reads the post. "Street Pub is a family friendly one-stop shop to try lots of our beers with over 50 taps – from year-round and seasonal beers to specialty and pub exclusive beers.

"We’ll pair these beers up with culinary creations from our Executive Chef, Jeff Usinowicz and a couple of local chefs and we’ll top it off with live music from local bands!

"Bringing the community together over a pint to raise funds for local non-profits has been an amazing experience over the past two years. We’re excited to do it again in 2017 and we hope you will join us!"

The website notes that Deschutes – which was founded in 1988 and makes popular craft brews like Black Butte Porter, Chainbreaker White IPA and Mirror Pond Pale Ale – has raised more than $840,000 for nonprofits via previous Street Pub events.

The tour – for which Deschutes is partnering with Hydro Flask, Humm Kombucha and KEEN Footwear – also stops in Cincinnati; Roanoke, Virginia; Portland, Oregon; and Sacramento this year.

Stay tuned for further details on tickets, partnering nonprofits and a location.
