American Craft Beer Week

Today I received an email about the upcoming American Craft Beer Week to be held on May 16th - 22nd with events being held in every state of the Union.  Follow the link to the website http://www.craftbeer.com/pages/news-and-events/news/show?title=american-craft-beer-week-participation-at-all-time-high.  On the website you can follow a link to the calendar for the week, it even lets you find out what is happening in your state during that week.

Many craft breweries will be holding their own special events during the week.  Also it looks like the Old Chicago Restaurant chain will be doing a Craft Beer Mini Tour, in which you drink 8 craft beers and receive a t-shirt for the event.They are being generous with their definition of  Craft Beer since they have included Blue Moon and Widmer beers. 

The state of Iowa's only other event is at Toppling Goliath in Decorah.  Illinois has a few more events than Iowa, but most are in the Chicago area.  So if you want to attend an event go to the web site and check out what is close to you.
