Springtime in Milwaukee is a wonderful thing, after Mother Nature finally makes up her mind and decided to make the weather feel like Spring. It was a nice 55 degrees Fahrenheit in Milwaukee today, with clear blue skies and just a light breeze. It was a perfect day for the opening of the Milwaukee County Beer Gardens! My Fiancé, a close friend, and I rode our bikes (I’m sore, it’s been a long time since I’ve been on 2 wheels) up to Estabrook Park for the grand opening of the Estabrook Beer Garden. This particular beer garden was the first to open in America after the Prohibition. It’s a glorious place, nestled on the hill above the Milwaukee river, with friends and food and neighbors and music. There is one other thing, and it just may be the most important… Beer!
My long awaited liter of Hofbrau’s Maibock was glorious. The atmosphere here was perfect, a band playing polka covers of old Rock ‘n Roll classics set the mood for an evening of dancing, drinking, and photography. To capture the moment, I took a few shots of the defining features, the Bavarian classic checkered blue flags, the sign pointing toward Munich (only 7079 km!), and the beautiful archway leading into the beer garden. I enjoyed my night and hopefully you’ll enjoy my photos.
