The Brewcity Bruisers is a women's flat-track roller derby league based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Founded in 2005, the league played their twentieth season in 2025. The Bruisers are a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).[1]
Brewcity Bruisers was founded in late 2005 by skaters "Jesse Jameson", "Butch Cassidy" and "Cris Carny Power",[2] and was announced as a new member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association in May 2007.[3] By 2011 the league was drawing over 3500 people to an event at U.S. Cellular Arena.[4]
From its inception until 2019, the Brewcity Bruisers home league was composed of four home teams, the Crazy 8s, the Maiden Milwaukee, the Shevil Knevils, and the Rushin' Rollettes. Skaters from these home teams participated in two travel teams, the All-Stars (A-level team) and the Battlestars (B-level).
In 2019, the league restructured, retiring the four home teams and establishing the All-Stars and Battlestars as its two teams. The league is supported by a cheer/dance team called the Brewcity Beerleaders, as well as a group of skating referees and NSOs (Non-Skating Officials).
