****UPDATE****
Unfortunately, Brewery Vivant won’t be able to make it this year. Fortunately, a great many breweries were at the ready in case something like this happened, so we’re proud to welcome Saugatuck Brewing Company to the event lineup.
***************

Brewers and reps from each company will be on hand to answer your questions, talk shop, and general have fun with you and the amazing brews they make. KBE has also created six new sliders for the event. We’ve even got sliders for you vegetarians! And we listened to you last year, so this time around we’re taking over the ENTIRE Beer Exchange!

Sliders this year are:

Hot
Traditional beef, onion, and cheese
Pulled pork and slaw
Blackened chicken with pico di gallo
Veggie burger, all veggie and organic

Cold – Open faced on home made bread
Asian vegetable
Eggplant carpaccio

Admission is $15, which includes ten food/drink tickets and a souvenir tasting glass. Each ticket is good for a beer sample or a slider, and you can use them in any configuration you like. There is a small chance that one or two of the rarer and more exclusive beers may end up being two tickets, but we’ll let you know if that happens and which beers fall into that category.If you need more, additional strips of five are available for $5.

So save the date, post this event everywhere, and invite all of your friends!

Proceeds from this event go to support the continued operation of WIDR fm. This event is part of the WIDR 60th Anniversary Celebration.
