Free Beer Barresl? Yes!

Before rushing off to WI, you should know that Octopi is home to Untitled Art brewing so possibly some of these barrels have been part of their aging program. Waunakee is very near Madison.

New Groove Crispifest Update

 

Crispifest is now in the history books, probably under the heading, "Best First-Time Events" cause that was the case. Mostly lagers with a few IPAs and Stouts thrown in just to keep one's palate entertained. Still going through my notes, but here are some glimpses of various activities during the Fest hours. 

Was a hot day so a few folks found relief by splashing in a convenient (if small) pool that was handy. Adam Willier broke the ice, so to speak which led to MiMi Medlin joining in. 

 

Add their experience as another reason to put this event on next year's calendar. Josh Dodson and Jonathan Duke assured me that this event will be repeated!! 

 

A Crispi Cheers, everyone!

Crispi-Boi Festival

Saturday was the first-ever Crispi Fest at New Groove Artisan Brewery and it was a grand time for all attendees, hot temps not withstanding. 

I’m currently editing photos and consulting my notes to better explain why it was such a special, much appreciated in-person festival. I’ll also explain this photo:

 

 

 

Fire Forge Celebrated 3rd Anniversary!

 

Today could be a good day to start planning your weekend craft beer activities. Here's one that I'll be adding to my to-do list.

Fireforge Crafted Beer is having a 3rd Anniversary party this weekend which will include new releases of beer, music, food, beer and more beer. My kind of schedule.

 

Ran across couple of photos from their opening day back in 2018, June 13 to be exact. Brian Cendrowski, Ken and Nicole Zokan Cendrowski have made FF one of the top players (and Award winners) in the GVille beer community today. Congratulations and see ya Friday! And Saturday.

 

Cheers and see ya there!!
