Winter Business Mixer: A B2B Networking Soirée
To kick off 2025, we joined the historic Kegel's Inn to celebrate their 100 year anniversary! We had a great turnout for this event with almost 100 in attendance. We were even joined by Mr. Paul Truess with Senator Ron Johnson's office, who awarded Kegel's Inn an award of appreciation for managing to keep this pillar of Wisconsin culture open for 100 years! What a great way to start off the 1st quarter! Looking forward to many more amazing events this year.
Brew City Spring Connect
For our Q2 2025 event, , Brew City Business Network hosted Brew City Spring Connect event at the historic Bavarian Bierhaus in Glendale, bringing together a vibrant mix of entrepreneurs, small business owners, and local professionals.
Set against a backdrop of traditional German charm and springtime energy, attendees enjoyed authentic fare, local brews, and — most importantly — meaningful networking opportunities that sparked new partnerships and lasting connections. With a full house and lively atmosphere, Spring Connect proved that strong business relationships start with great conversations and a welcoming environment
Connections & Kölsch
To say farewell to 2025, we met again at the historic Kegel's Inn! Our October Connections & Kölsch gathering brought together professionals from across Southeast Wisconsin for an evening of meaningful conversation, new introductions, in a relaxed atmosphere. Attendees enjoyed great food and drinks and the opportunity to strengthen existing relationships while forming new ones within the local business community. The event once again highlighted the value of bringing people together in person to share ideas, exchange opportunities, and continue building a strong network of professionals in the region.
From Factory Floors to Global Markets: Manufacturing That Works
Our manufacturing workshop brought together business leaders for a practical discussion on how manufacturers can expand into new markets while managing the risks that come with growth. The session focused on real-world strategies for identifying opportunities, scaling responsibly, and protecting businesses from operational, financial, and regulatory challenges.
Attendees walked away with clear, actionable takeaways they could apply directly to their operations, planning, and long-term strategy. This event was designed to deliver practical value for manufacturers navigating growth in an uncertain business environment.
Summer Mixer 2026
Brew City Business Network’s 2026 Summer Mixer brought a strong turnout of professionals to Lombardi Brewing Company for a casual, relaxed afternoon of networking. The welcoming atmosphere made it easy for attendees to move beyond quick introductions and have meaningful conversations, resulting in new business connections and opportunities across the local community.
With great drinks, an easygoing summer setting, and a room full of people genuinely interested in meeting one another, the event reflected the purpose of Brew City Business Network: creating opportunities for Southeast Wisconsin professionals to connect, build relationships, and grow together.
