Problem:
There are 6500 people coming to your club’s Oktoberfest event, and they want to taste three dozen beers—in just 6 hours.

Solution:
Facing that predicament in Charlotte, N.C., avid home-brewer Tony Profera designed “Junior,” a portable 11-tap draft dispenser that accommodates rolling carts, so kegs can be swapped out quickly and easily.

That Flopping Crappie gave me the Crappie Flapper… In a can!! Nice selection of brews and a good turn out for a summer meeting. Did you know they have free peanuts at Suds? Wow. A formal request for meeting change was made and approved for October. Oktoberfest will be at Trent’s house again. A good time shall be had by all. Get ready to polka!

Here are some pics from the Picnic.

For the June meeting we will be meeting at my house for a cook-out and meeting.

Spring Brew Fest 2008

Friday - May 23rd

First off, thanks Chuck and Brew and Grow from Rockford. They had many beers and wines to sample and did a great job serving the masses. Also in attendance with beers: Mark, Trent, Chris, Ryan, and Steve. Thanks to the family and friends that showed up and help us, Fest. We had a no show for the beer distributors. That sucks. We did have a nice stream of people most of the night as far as I remember….. Also thanks to whoever cleaned up. I was kind of unaware of things at the end of the night…

Freshened up the web site. Take a look around. It should be easier to find things.

Spring Brewfest 2008 is planned for the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. Friday, May 23rd from 4:30 to 8:00. More details to follow.

A few pics from last year.

Found this info at taverntrove.com about the old Beloit Brewery, not the recent micro brewery that ran it’s self into the ground.
