Maifest
We had great weather out here in Amana for Maifest. If you let the weatherman scare you away with threats of rain.. you missed out! The party time band played polka and much beer was consumed in the sunny warm weather.
Our ’special’ keg was tapped at 12:45 and completely consumed by 3pm. Everyone seemed to agree that the extra crystal hops made the beer delicious. We raised over 350$ for the Home Ties program for the Iowa City 4C’s.
On of our fan’s Dave Needham, was having fun with his Nikon D70. So I present to you Maifest photo montage courtesy of him:
In other news, our old Assistant Brewer, Kevin Buckley, has moved on. He is starting this week as the head brewer at Govners Pub in Lake in the Hills IL (a suburb somewhere northwest of barrington). Congrats Buckley!
In his place we have Austin Zaletel. He is also the saxophone player in a local band, Euphorquestra. Welcome to the team Austin!
We also have a new sales lady in the salesroom, Kathie. Kathie is an Amana local and a great addition to our team.
We still have plenty of Maifest in bottles, but our keg supply is getting pretty low. Next up, look for our Pale ale coming out very soon!
