Oregon Ganymedes to play at Estabrook Park and Beer Garden in Milwaukee on Sunday, June 12

The Oregon Ganymedes Base Ball Club will be playing the Milwaukee Grays Base Ball Club at Estabrook Park and Beer Garden in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Sunday, June 12 starting at noon. The two vintage base ball clubs will be playing 1860 rules base ball on a ball field located next to the historic Estabrook Beer Garden operated by Milwaukee County Parks.

“Come out to watch the Ganymedes and experience the first public beer garden in the U.S.A. since prohibition,” said Ganymede Caption Mark Herman. “The Estabrook Beer Garden was restored in 2012 and offers imported beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages along with bratwurst, hot dogs, and giant fresh-baked pretzels in a family-friendly setting.”

Estabrook Park and Beer Garden is located at 4600 Estabrook Drive in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
