Do you have what it takes to be a Beerleader?

Nope, I certainly don’t. You probably don’t, either.
It takes a special breed to be a member of the official cheer squad for the Brew City Bruisers, Milwaukee’s raucous roller derby grrrls. (Motto: “We don’t have just a pair, we have quads!”)
The Bruiser’s blog related a Beerleader’s qualities in a telling profile of former “co-captain and drill bitch” Kim ‘N Tonic:
“She a prime example of the Beerleaders. With energy to spare and an upbeat attitude, she exemplifies her squad… The Beerleaders add energy and theatrics to an already exciting sporting event.”
So, if you think you can perform a choreographed dance routine to “Thriller,” you can come up with a cool name for yourself like Walter BlondeAle, and, most of all, you’re 21 or older… you just might have a shot at the title of Beerleader.
Season 4 tryouts take place on Saturday, July 25, 1-3 p.m. at the BrewHaus, 300 E Ward Street in Milwaukee. Get more info at beerleaders@brewcitybruisers.com or visit myspace.com/brewcitybeerleaders.
