New Barons Brewing Cooperative | Wisconsin’s First Co-Op Brewery

New Barons Brewing Cooperative is Wisconsin's first cooperative brewery, offering a unique community-owned model that sets it apart from traditional brewing operations in the Milwaukee area. Located in the Walker's Point neighborhood, New Barons operates as a member-owned cooperative where beer enthusiasts and community members can invest in and help shape the brewery's direction. This collaborative approach creates a distinctive atmosphere where patrons feel genuinely invested in the brewery's success, making it more than just a place to grab a beer—it's a shared venture among local stakeholders. The brewery produces a rotating selection of craft beers while maintaining an accessible, welcoming environment that reflects its cooperative values. Visitors can enjoy their brews in a laid-back setting that emphasizes community connection and transparency, appealing to those who want to support locally-owned, democratically-run businesses while enjoying quality craft beverages.
