Whitnall Park Beer Garden hosts a J. Leinenkugel’s Barrel Yard  tap takeover on Sunday, Sept. 15, pouring some small-batch beers brewed at the Brewers' ballpark.

When Whitnall gets to “Rolling Out the Barrel Yard" at noon on Sunday, beer fans can enjoy stadium faves like Just a Bit Hazy and Pitch Clock IPA, a collab between Molson Coors cousins Leinenkugel’s & Terrapin.

MAYBE you'll even get to try the two new brews made in collaboration with Brew Crew hurlers, though that's not for sure.

But what is for sure is that the handiwork of Barrel Yard Pilot Brewer Corrine Georges will definitely be on display as the beer garden season, like the baseball season, begins the road to its inevitable autumn conclusion.

We're told that the Brewers Street Team will be there, too, with giveaways and tailgate fun.

Check out our beer garden guide for a look at the current Milwaukee-area beer garden landscape – which have closed, which are still open, etc.

Go Brewers!
