Milwaukee Brewers FC Hall Of Fame
Established in the spring of 2019
While there are currently eleven Brewers members in the Wisconsin Soccer Hall of Fame, the Brewers started their own award to recognize the contributions of individual players, coaches, and administrators to the club. Nominations are accepted year round, with an annual induction each spring of no more than three members. All Brewers members, dating back to the club’s founding in 1947, are eligible for induction.

The women won six championships with Beth as captain. She was also a key part of several coed teams during that time period.

Kevin Jahnke
Hall of Fame Inductee (Spring 2019)
By the early 1990s, the Brewers had fallen on hard times. A kitchen fire had destroyed the restaurant and chalet at the club’s fields. The fields and property were sold. Only one team survived. In 1996, Kevin Jahnke stepped forward as the new president and set forth to re-establish the Brewers, who were down to just a handful of members. Under Kevin’s leadership, the club rejoined the 1st Division, made an initial foray into Majors, and grew to include several women’s, coed and over thirty teams. Kevin lead the Brewers from 1996 to 2008, was the WASA Major Women’s Soccer League Commissioner from 1997 to 2005, coached the Women’s Majors Team for eight seasons with four league titles, and was recognized by the Wisconsin Soccer Hall of Fame Committee in 2011 with a Meritorious Service Award for his revitalization of the club. If it weren’t for the efforts of Kevin, there would likely no longer be a Milwaukee Brewers FC.
Jamie Denis

Jim Keller
Hall of Fame Inductee (Spring 2019)
The Brewers returned to Majors in 2011 with Jim Keller stepping in as the new head coach. This was a rough transition for the club, and the team went through their first year in the Majors with only one win and a tie. While it would have been easy to return to the First Division, Jim’s determination as coach and recruiter helped bring about the Brewer’s re-emergence as a competitive team. During Jim’s six years as coach he built up the Majors team, compiled a record of 80-55-7, lead the team to two WSL championship appearances, and helped orchestrate a victory over a professional team, the Muskegon Risers, to win the Lake Cup Express Trophy.
