Attention! Attention!! The April Meetup for the Barley’s Angels Milwaukee will be Thursday evening, April 20, at New Barons Co-op! Event details will be announced soon!! Check us out on Facebook and Instagram to see what Barley’s Angels MKE is all about

Barley’s Angels is committed to involving women in the enjoyment of craft beer by creating environments where women can learn more about beer in a friendly, educational and supportive atmosphere. 

To find the most up-to-date information on upcoming meetings & events, check out our Facebook page.

Our meetings are held at various locations in the Milwaukee area on the first Thursday of each month. Our goal is to expose members to new bars and restaurants that are focused on serving craft beer. We usually start with a social hour at 6pm with the meeting starting at 7pm. Typically they will last 2-2.5 hours (depending on the presentations or samplings). Each meeting will have something different to learn!

Barley’s Angels is not just a social, beer-drinking club for women. Barley’s Angels respect beer and brewing, have a thirst for education, and enjoy beer responsibly.
