Welcome to District Milwaukee's website!
We are the ‘Heritage' district. We have a rich history of brewing and a treasure-trove of membership that spans generations. Our 215+ members (198 classifying Milwaukee as their 'home' district) come from large breweries, craft breweries, brewpubs, allied trades, and even just beer aficionados. We are blessed to have brewing in our ancestry and as the fabric of our communities.
We welcome new members whole-heartedly! If you are interested, please click the Joion/Renew link to the left or contact our Membership Chair, Joe Walts (jwalts@gmail.com).
At this website you will find information on upcoming meetings, past meeting minutes and photos, board member info, and technical presentations from the past.
We hold 5 district meetings each year; usually on the third Thursday of January, March, May, September, and November. The location venue changes with each meeting so as to not favor one area of our expansive district! But don’t worry, if the meeting is not close to your locale, a bus is usually arranged to ease the pain of travel and promote the gregariousness. Watch for details on upcoming meetings (links to the left).
Additionally, in 2012 the Milwaukee District is proud to host the Midwest Technical Conference.It will be held in Madison, Wisconsin, on Aug. 10th, which is the Friday before the annual Great Taste of The Midwest. We are putting together a good program of technical presentations from experts in this great industry! Stay tuned for details! (As a side note, we will be holding a golf outing on Aug. 9th - Thursday. Always a great time with a dinner that follows. Also stay tuned for the details and don't forget your golf clubs)
Here’s wishing you all a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2012. Prost!

District Milwaukee President
