September Events

I wanted to get the word out on a few events upcoming this September in the Eastern Iowa area.

September 2nd, Sunday- Festival of Iowa Beers Amana, IA across the street from Millstream Brewery 1-5pm.  Tickets can be purchased online or at Millstream.  Things will be a bit different this year with more Iowa based breweries and less Iowa homebrew clubs.  Even with that, this will be a fun event.

September 7th, Friday- First Friday at Mississippi River Distilling Company 5:30- 8pm.  So far I have not seen any information on what is going on, but I am sure they will have some special preview of one of their spirits.

September 15th, Saturday- Oktoberfest at Great River Brewery 2-6pm.  Oktoberfest beer, live music and German cuisine from Bier Stubbe.

September 15th, Saturday- Celtic Highland Games at Centennial Park Davenport, IA 9am-6pm.  Not really a beer event, but wanted to get this out there.  My wife are looking forward to this with the headline musical act Wylde Nept.  This is a fun day of watching the Celtic athletes showing off their prowess.

September 28th, 29th and 30th- Oktoberfest Amana, IA If you cannot make it to Germany for Oktoberfest, this is the next best place.  On Friday the tapping of the first keg happens at the Festhall at 2pm.  It is a weekend full of music, events, food and beer.  If you cannot make it for the full weekend, come when you can.
