The SOB's donated a tremendous variety of homebrew for the event, and, as usual, the homebrew was well received by the crowd. Thanks again to Steve Olson for providing the cask equipment for the brew and for lending his expertise to the cellaring activities at the festival. Too bad it only lasted a couple of hours. This was the second year for this homebrew celebration. The SOBs were joined by members of the Green Bay Rackers and Oconomowoc's L.A.G.H.E.R.s for an overnight party at the quarry.
Plans are already underway for next year.
Brewery Tour Slide Show Twenty-six beer lovers on a bus, six breweries, and only one day. Stout Bros. Al Bunde, formerly the brewer at Fox River BC and now Stout Bros' brewmaster, personally guided tours of his brewery and answered questions about his many beers. We had a nice lunch there as well. After lunch, we visited Oconomowoc Brewing Co, the new Water Street Brewery and the Delafield Brewhaus. We were treated to a nice tour at Oconomowoc, but the brewery staff at the others were tied up either at a brewers' conference or festivals.
