I will be at work while this event is taking place…and I am going to be hating every single fucking minute of it. Even if I have a career day in sales, that will not come close to easing the pain caused from missing this event. It will truly be a sad day for this beer lover…
Appreciate the comment slim; we should have a brew sometime. Next time in you are in the area we should hit up Backpocket.
I might be wrong, please correct me if so, but this event has a light-weight feel to it in terms of interesting craft beer. For instance, I see the top brewery listed is Anchor. Now, Anchor is an awesome brewery, but I suspect it will be a volunteer pouring the same Anchor products from a bottle that are available at HyVee. Please tell me I’m way off, and that Anchor will be sending kegs of more interesting offerings such as their recently released Mild.
Hi GB,
I would love to tel you that your are wrong, but I’m guessing you are spot on. Volunteer pouring would be my guess. I would just go for the Iowa based brews; there might be a few big breweries with kegs of fresh beer, but not many.
Thanks for the info. I never know what to expect from these. The Craft beer fest a couple weeks ago was pretty decent with a solid Iowa representation. I’ve been to too many other events where the lines are long, and there are few brewers or interesting selections. I guess you take a shot… it’s beer, how bad can it be?
