Here’s the good word from Frank from Cassanova on their Beer Cave Festival in May.
All right…let’s do this s**t!

- Northern Brewer will have samples of 3 beers that they will be lagering in the caves for the month leading up to the festival. They will also have homebrew equipment set-up and be available for questions.
We are also working on some other cool stuff, including a keg of a seasonal from The Bruery in California.
We will have food available to buy as well.
And remember, we reserve the right to ask you to leave if you’re being an a-hole.
Sorry, this event is now sold out.

In celebration of spring and outdoor baseball, the gang from FireLake and Crispin Cider invites you to an evening of ciders and gourmet slider burgers. Every course will be a slider “burger,” from appetizer through dessert. The menu prepared by Executive Chef Paul Lynch (and indeed, it sounds pretty damn good).
Tickets are $50 including gratuity and a $5 per head donation to Second Harvest Heartland food bank.
The evening is casual, and guests are encouraged to wear their favorite baseball regalia.
Crispin Cider cidermaker Bruce Nissen will also be in town to illuminate on the ciders and their vision of the future of (hard) cider in America.
