MILWAUKEE— Break out the beer, brats and grills: Brewers tailgating is coming back in less than a week. 

The Brewers announced today that starting April 12, fans headed to the American Family Field are invited to tailgate. The Brewers said they have the support of the City of Milwaukee health department in this decision. This announcement comes just in time for Brew Crew fans cheering on their team during next week's series against the Chicago Cubs. 

“Tailgating is a Wisconsin tradition; it is how we begin our day at the ballpark,” said Brewers president of business operations Rick Schlesinger. “We have been in regular contact with the City of Milwaukee Health Department and the opening series was operationally sound. With safety protocols and our fans’ diligence, we are now able to bring back tailgating for those within a seating pod."

There are a few rules regulations in place to ensure fans stay safe.
