We are looking forward to going to the 7th Annual Festival of Iowa Beers tomorrow September 4th in Amana, IA. It runs from 1-5 pm and is located across the street from Millstream Brewery. This is an event that features beer from only Iowa craft breweries and homebrew clubs.
This is a really nice sized event, tickets are limited to 1200. Last year they almost sold to capacity, if you do not have your tickets by now you will probably miss out on this year's fun. They are only selling tickets in advance this year so go out today to get your ticket if any are left. With the size limit it is easy to get up to a table and chose a beer as well as talk with the brewers, both pro and amateur.
The craft brewers bring their standard beers, but also bring some special brews to share. The real "crazy" beers can be found at the homebrewers area. Some of the past beers include such creations as oatmeal cookies, Hershey kiss stout and many other taste creations. Since this is a fest that includes unlimited samples you can have whatever you want to try.
Besides the beer there is always live music and some local food vendors. Plus you can set up your chairs in the shade of the trees and sit back relax and enjoy the day. Also they usually feature some type of cooking demonstration. This is a relaxed fun afternoon at a beer fest.
Hope to see everyone tomorrow at the fest.
