Waukesha, WI - Waukesha County Parks and The Tap Yard Beer Gardens invite residents and visitors to celebrate new beer garden locations opening May 3 at Menomonee Park and Minooka Park with a pair of ribbon cutting and ceremonial “first pour” events this week.

“It’s great to have a partnership with The Tap Yard for our community,” said Waukesha County Executive Paul Farrow. “We know that Waukesha County residents and visitors will love the convenience and variety of these three locations – and the beauty of the outdoors in Waukesha County.”

Grand Opening Ribbon Cutting Events:

Thursday, May 4 at 3:30 p.m. at Menomonee Park, W220 N7884 Town Line Road, Menomonee Falls

Wednesday, May 10 at 3:30 p.m. at Minooka Park, 1927 E. Sunset Drive, Waukesha

The Tap Yard beer gardens in Waukesha County Parks will operate Wednesday through Sunday from May 3 through September and feature a rotating selection of craft beer, wine, hard seltzers, and canned cocktails at an outdoor bar. Guests will enjoy special events like trivia nights, food trucks, and tap events throughout the 2023 season, in addition to each location’s park amenities.

“We are very excited to serve even more of Waukesha County with the addition of two new beer garden locations at Waukesha County Parks,” said Nick Marking of The Tap Yard Beer Gardens. “Like our existing Waukesha County location at Fox Brook Park, both Menomonee and Minooka Parks are fantastic settings for a chat with family and friends over a drink.”

 Annual membership or daily permit is required for each vehicle upon entry to fee-based Waukesha County Parks. Purchase five days before or after the date of visit at www.WaukeshaCounty.gov/ParkEntry.
