NEW ULM — The New Ulm Brewers open their 2025 season Sunday at Johnson Park when they host the Springfield Tigers for a 4 p.m. first pitch.

Lamberton also opens their season when they host Heron Lake at 3 p.m.

Fans attending the Brewers game Sunday will get the fine same food at the concession stand but will also get the additional treat for the first time this year of Linda Flor’s homemade sauerkraut – always a fan favorite.

Also it is “Junior Baseball Day” at the park.

All Junior Baseball players attending will receive a free hot dog and Gatorade.

If your business or organization would like to have a “Day at Johnson Park” this season, you can contact New Ulm Baseball Association President Bob Skillings at 507-217-9038.

Sunday will also see the debut of the new BrewCrew Deer Brand Beer can which is sold ONLY at Johnson or Mueller Parks.
