CODE + BREWS is an inclusive, informal, co-working session for Milwaukee's developer community. People of all skill levels are invited. The concept is simple, bring a laptop and ideas, we'll provide the coffee and tea (in the morning) or beer for future gatherings in the evenings.

Here's how it works:

1. At 9:15 everyone introduces themselves and briefly describes what brought them to CODE + BREWS today (projects, homework, networking, etc).

2. For the rest of the day, folks work in the communal space on their projects providing one another help and conversation as needed. Oh and they usually drink coffee and tea too!

Where is the event?
Located right by the beautiful Milwaukee River, SPACES is a 40,000 square foot coworking facility. The modern design set in a historic building provides an innovative place with a unique aesthetic, will make for a great venue for our 2nd CODE + BREWS gathering.

How often will we gather?
Once a month to start. We'll start with the 2nd Saturday of every month but as interest grows we'lll look to have 2 events each month.
