The king has arrived at Old World Wisconsin! We are excited to give you a glimpse of the newly placed King Gambrinus statue that is located in the Beer Garden at Wittnebel's Tavern!
King Gambrinus is an icon in the beer and brewing world, and we are thankful to the Cleary-Kumm family for bringing this brand new experience (and a fun new photo op!) to Old World and the Wittnebel's Tavern.
With the placement of this iconic figure, we are one step closer to the completion of the project. We've got so many fun updates to share soon! ... See MoreSee Less
