Great Taste of the MidwestSM
August 9, 2008
The Great Taste of the Midwest beer festival is at Olin-Turville Park in Madison, Wisconsin. The second longest-running craft beer festival in North America, with around 100 breweries serving about 400 beers!
The Great Taste of the MidwestSM is an event that you shouldn't miss if you like Craft beers, food, and the outdoors.
The Beer Barons of Milwaukee run a bus trip to this festival.
