Barley’s Angels Milwaukee turns 4 in August! Come help us celebrate August 4th at the Sprecher Traveling Beer Garden at Greenfield Park. We’ll start the celebration with the next 5k in the Traveling Beer Garden 5k Race Series – either sign up to run or sign up to volunteer at the water stations (or just come for the post-race party).

The race starts at 6:30. We’ll be set up in the beer garden at 6 pm. Please bring a dish to share. Other food will be available to purchase. All race runners and volunteers get a free beer! The Beer Garden will be located at picnic area 3A.

Our July meeting will be held on Thursday, July 14th and we’re headed to visit our friends at Draft & Vessel. The meeting will be a style session on German Weiss beers. More details to come – hope you can join us!

On Thursday, June 2nd we’ll meet at Raised Grain Brewing, located at 2244 W. Bluemound Rd in Waukesha. In addition to tasting Raised Grain’s delicious beers, we’ll be making beer floats! As always, we’ll start with social hour at 6 pm, meeting at 7. Hope you can join us!

Please RSVP via Facebook here.

Get your creative juices flowing – for our May Meeting, we are headed to Bay View Printing Co. for Drink & Ink – a night of letterpress poster-making fun!

BVPC will supply all the paper, the ink and the press know-how you could possibly need; we bring the creativity and any snacks or beverages we might want to enjoy during the event.

The cost for our Drink & Ink event is $30 and the fun starts at 6 pm. We are limited to 15 people for this event, so you must secure your spot via Eventbrite. Please bring a snack and beer to share (It’s also Cinco de Mayo!)!

We are contemplating the first-ever Barley’s Angels Beer Camp – a weekend of camping and good beer at Lake Kegonsa State Park in Stoughton, WI.

The poll below is to gauge interest in the trip and the Sept 23-25 dates. Here’s how the weekend would work:

– The cost of sites and firewood would be split among those who go.

– We would ask that you pay a non refundable deposit (cost to be determined but we will try to keep as low as possible). This deposit is to cover the upfront site reservation fees.

– Everyone brings their own camping gear – tents, sleeping bags, etc.. If you don’t have a tent we will do our best to accommodate.

– We would do a bottle share each evening, so we ask everyone to bring beer to share with the group.

– As with all Angels events, this is for ladies-only (must be 21 and older).

Please provide your input below. If there’s interest, we will be sharing more info in the next few weeks.

Please RSVP via Facebook or email.

Come join us on March 3rd at the Milwaukee County Historical Society! We’ll be checking out the new Brew City Exhibit.

Brew City details the role that beer and brewing has played in shaping Milwaukee’s economy, society, and identity from its earliest roots to modern day. Highlighting artifacts and images from the extensive one-of-a-kind beer and brewing collection of the Historical Society, this exhibit is not to be missed. You can check out more information here: http://www.brewcitymke.com/

The event is free and a cash bar will be available. More details to come!
