Haven't seen a post for this yet so figured i'd throw it out there. Going to be a sour and wild beer focused beer fest at the field museum in October: EDIT: can't figure out how to not get it to try to embed the facebook post and fail. There are some of the breweries on the facebook event page though https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rare-and-wild-beer-fest-tickets-35800939574?aff=efbeventtix The whole museum will be open during it so seems like a good two for one. A saturday night or drinking and seeing the museum. I did the VIP tickets for the extra hour. Anyone else going or have more info?
All I will say is that Toppling Goliath has a partnership with the museum....what do they bring to this rare beer fest?
At the Northern Lights Rare Beerfest in St. Paul this past March TG brought Morning Delight & King Sue.
They seem to randomly be announcing breweries on the event page, but here are some i'm seeing: Ale Asylum, Ferro Farms Hard Cider, Band of Bohemia, Aleman Brewing, Around the Bend Beer Co., Maplewood Brewery & Distillery, Myths and Legends Brewing Company, Noon Whistle Brewing, Ten Ninety Brewing Co, Like Minds Brewing Company, Begyle Brewing, Temperance Beer Co.,Shmaltz Brewing Company, Rogue Ales & Spirits, Upland West Side Beer Bar, The Church Street Brewing Company, Ommegang, SweetWater Brewing Company, Founders, Burnt City Brewing, Motor Row Brewing, Bucket List Brewing, Illuminated Brew Works, LaGrow Organic Beer Co., Lake Effect Brewing Company LLC, Pig Minds Brewing Co., Prairie Krafts Brewing Company, Rolling Meadows Brewery, Tocayo Brewing Co, Dovetail Brewery, One Trick Pony Brewery, Vice District Brewing, Scorched Earth Brewing Co, St. John Malt Brothers Craft Brewers, Blue Nose Brewery, New Day Craft, Blue Island Beer Company, Twisted Hippo, Metal Monkey Brewing, On Tour Brewing Co., Exit Strategy Brewing Company, 2 Fools Cider, Sketchbook Brewing Company, Hopewell Brewing Company, Smylie Brothers Brewing Co., Hand of Fate Brewing Company, Lagunitas Brewing Co, Whiner Beer, Ska, Ace Cider, Miskatonic, Moody Tongue. Central State, Pollyanna Brewing Company, Pokro Brewing Company, Inc., 51st Ward Beer Company, Hermitage Brewing Company, Banging Gavel. Paradox Beer Company, Prairie Artisan Ales, and Cascade Brewing. Dont actually see toppling goliath in there unless i'm blind? Perhaps that is just implied due to their partnership though.
Does anyone have feedback on this from last year? A group is going to this year's and I'm curious what to expect. My expectations are pretty low especially since Far and Away fest is the same day
