The Great Milwaukee Summer is HERE! Your guide to what you'll be doing, where you'll be drinking, who you'll be hearing and how you'll be getting a sweet tan this summer is on OnMilwaukee. The Great Milwaukee Summer guide is brought to you by Geis Garage Doors and Peoples State Bank!
International Beer Day is the first Friday and August, which if you don't have a calendar handy is today!
The Brewers want to celebrate, but they're in Washington today, so instead, they're going to mark the day NEXT Friday, when they return home to host the Cincinnati Reds at 7:10 p.m.
At that game you'll be able to take advantage of a buy one, get one free deal on 16-ounce draft pours of Miller Lite and Coors Light, 16-ounce cans of Miller Lite, Coors Light and Miller High Life, and 12-ounce Vizzy Seltzers at concessions stands and Marketplaces throughout the ballpark and in the J. Leinenkugel’s Barrel Yard.
This "pitcher-perfect" night offer will be available from when the gates open at 5:10 p.m. until a half-hour after the first pitch ... so, 7:40 p.m.
Fans can purchase tickets for digital deliver via the MLB Ballpark app at brewers.com/Tickets.
