One of their more unique places to knock a few items off your holiday shopping list (or your personal “I want this” list) is the Milwaukee Brewers annual Clubhouse Sale. The team will once again fill the visiting clubhouse at American Family Field with deeply discounted gear, and you can check it out from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Dec. 6 and 7.
The Brewers knock as much as 80 percent off their collection of merchandise, apparel and game-used items — a discount that tends to draw crowds early on the first day. So if you’re planning on taking advantage of the savings, it would be wise to figure out a way to be there Friday morning. One of the easier ways is to make a purchase at the main Brewers Team Store from Nov. 17 to Dec. 4, and that’ll get you an early entry pass valid Dec. 5.
Even if some of the inventory is snapped up relatively fast, the team typically has enough on hand to keep the racks populated throughout the two days. Plus, there’s a whole range of other activities happening at the stadium to keep fans and shoppers interested throughout the sale.
Away from the clubhouse and back on the main concourse, the Brewers Team Store in the left-field corner will welcome a pair of visitors: Brewers legend Gorman Thomas signing autographs from 10-11 a.m. Dec. 7, and Santa Bernie taking photos from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dec. 6 and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dec. 7. The holiday version of the Brewers mascot will also be at the team store from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dec. 14 and 21.
There’s a charitable aspect to this year’s event as well, thanks to the team’s partnerships with Northwestern Mutual and Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF). At the register, you’ll have the opportunity to round up and support ALSF’s mission to help those affected by childhood cancer, and Northwestern Mutual will match the total round-up amount from the two-day sale.
To access the Clubhouse Sale happening Dec. 6 and 7, use the left-field entrance and follow the signs to the visiting clubhouse located on the stadium’s Service Level. The Brewers Team Store’s daily hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. You can get more information about the sale and store on the Brewers website.
