The Milwaukee Brewers enjoyed themselves.

If there was one theme from the club's World Series parade and ensuing celebration at the Summerfest grounds on Oct. 30, it was that.

The Brewers, outfitted in cream World Series champions hoodies and custom letterman-style jackets, have had no shortage of soaking in the moment since they won the World Series for the first time in franchise history on Oct. 28 in Florida.

Here are five highlights from the roughly hourlong celebration inside the American Family Insurance amphitheater.

Karaoke with Daniel Vogelbach

A "player request" to get hitting coach Daniel Vogelbach with a microphone in his hands appeared to be some sort of set-up by the team.

"I know this is hard to believe, but I don't like crowds, man," Vogelbach said off the bat.

He talked for about a minute about how special the team was before Trevor Megill came up to him with a Miller Lite and the song "Stacy's Mom" by Fountains of Wayne came on. Vogelbach then seamlessly shifted into performing karaoke as the team went wild behind him.

Christian Yelich is on the injured list

It's a good thing the season's done, because the captain suffered a party-induced injury.

Brewers captain Christian Yelich was the first player called to the front of the stage by emcee Brian Anderson, and some of his first words described an injury he suffered while celebrating earlier in the day.

"We've had way too many parade beers," he said. "Took the trophy to the face. Got a black eye."

An injured list stint, thankfully, won't be required.

"All worth it for you guys," he said.

Sal Frelick is going to drink a lot of beers

As soon as outfielder Sal Frelick, the life of the Brewers, took the microphone you knew something was going to be said.

First, Frelick bragged about how Yelich couldn't tackle him after scoring the winning run in the National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres in Game 2.

Later, he made a promise to the crowd.

"I'm gonna have a beer for every single person here," he shouted. "I'm gonna have 100,000 beers!"

Robin's motorcycle

The lasting image from the 1982 season was Robin Yount riding into County Stadium on a dirt bike as fans gathered for the celebration of the team after they came up one game short of winning the World Series.

The 2026 team winning it all was a big monkey off the back of Yount and his teammates, he told Yelich in the celebration at Tropicana Field.

The title also gave him a chance to ride again – this time as champions.

Before jumping on the Harley, which belonged to late team broadcaster Bob Uecker, Yount took the stage with 1982 team members and Hall of Famers Ted Simmons, Paul Molitor and Rollie Fingers. He then asked the crowd a question.

"I wanted to know how it sounds to all of you to be able to say, 'World champion Milwaukee Brewers '?" Yount said, eliciting a big ovation.

Brandon Woodruff wants more?

Brandon Woodruff, technically, was a free agent throughout the celebration. He, along with JoJo Romero and Jake Bauers, officially elected free agency as a product of their contracts expiring the day following the World Series.

But Woodruff, the longest-tenured Brewer, hinted to the crowd at wanting to come back once again.

"All the bull crap I've been through, for that one inning, I did it for you guys and to bring this thing home," he said. "It means a lot to me. You know what? Let's win a few more. This [expletive] is pretty fun."
