St Francis Brewery, Milwaukee

The St. Francis Brewery runs the Humboldt Park Beer Garden as a traditional German beer garden, not just in their beverage offerings but also in their focus on community. Welcoming dogs, families, and picnic baskets, the Humboldt Park Beer Garden is a social hub for the Bay View neighborhood. Friends and neighbors gather for pig roasts and live polka music every Saturday and trivia contests on Wednesday nights. The community integration extends even to the menu, which includes a rotating roster of guest taps from Wisconsin breweries, and food from local eateries such as the Milwaukee Pizza Company, Babe's Ice Cream, and the Milwaukee Pretzel Company.
