I don’t know about you, but when the weather is warm and the days are longer, I want to do all the outside things. Kenosha beer gardens offer the perfect setting for just that! Here is one local’s guide to the beer gardens and breweries in our area.
Petrifying Springs Biergarten

Try the limited edition Maibock by Duesterbeck’s. Don’t worry if you miss it, the bartenders will help you pick your perfect pint.
