Milwaukee Craft Beer Exchange

How It Works

We’re a community of craft beer lovers who simply want to share a bottle, share a story and share a laugh.

The driving force behind this group is to share & exchange those rare treats, or popular favorites, we gather along the way on our craft beer journeys.

This is a platform to meet craft beer lovers, make trades for beers you’re looking for, and grow the craft beer community here in Milwaukee.


How it works

1. Post on the MCBE Trading Block. Visit the “How To Use The Trading Block Page” for a run-down on how to use the trading block.

Example 1: “FT (for trade) (2) 22 oz. bottle of 2014 Dark Lord. ISO (in search of) Surly Pentagram (any year).”

Example 2: “I just got 2 freshly bottled six packs of Three Floyds Zombie Dust, Looking to trade for King Sue or Daisy Cutter”

2. Hopefully a conversation begins with another MKE craft beer lover and you’re able to make a trade.

It’s as simple as that!

I will also post new trades on all social media outlets & MCBE Newsletter.

Rules

All users MUST be 21 years of age. No Exceptions. It’s the law!

Don’t give anyone your home address or phone number you don’t feel comfortable with. Choose to make the exchange at a neutral location.

Absolutely NO posting for profit. All comments will be deleted. This is meant to be a beer exchange/platform to meet other MKE craft beer lovers, not a place to sell your beer for profit. So, don’t be that guy.

Play nice. If someone has a bottle of something you want and they just aren’t looking for the beers you have or are willing to trade, respect their decision. We travel far and wide for these beers and aren’t willing to give them up easily.

No threadshitting. No excuses. Your posts/comments will be deleted.


The Trading Block is the centralized, streamlined hub where all the trading and interactions go down. You’re able able to post trades, chat and decide where you’ll meet to make your exchange. It’s fairly simple, but here is a description of how to best utilize the platform.
