J. Leinenkugel's Barrel Yard set to open at AmFam Field in 2023

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Brewers have traded away "The Restaurant to be Named Later," and a heavy hitter in Wisconsin beer is coming in return.

In a partnership with Leinenkugel's, the Brewers will open a new brewery and restaurant at American Family Field in March of 2023.

The brewery and restaurant will be ready for opening day. More information on seating and ticket availability will be available later this winter at BarrelYardMKE.com.

Brewers President of Business Operations Rick Schlesinger says since 2019 the team has been working on a permanent replacement for the former TGI Friday's restaurant.

"It became clear early on that it made sense to partner with Molson Coors and Leinenkugel's," Schlesinger said.

J. Leinenkugel Barrel Yard will feature a working brewery with craft recipes only available at Am Fam Field, a menu that pairs with the beverage lineup, and new doors that open up views of the ballpark. Leinenkugel's President Tony Bugher says what fans drink will help shape what is brewed at the field.

"Having a small brewery like this that we're going to be installing gives us the autonomy and flexibility to come up with new ideas, get creative with new recipes," Bugher said.

The brewery/restaurant will be ready for opening day. More information on seating and ticket availability will be available later this winter at BarrelYardMKE.com.
