Cedar Rapids Brewing Society

Did anyone else read the Gazette story today about a new microbrewery in Oelwein? Hub City Brewing, housed in a refurbished barn and hog-farrowing building..(how "Iowa")...they are offering an Oatmeal Stout, a Wheat, and a Brown Ale.

They have a tasting room, and will be selling through bars and groceries...

Good luck to them, hope to see some of their beers around.

Pete

Thanks for letting the club know about this.

Here is a link about the new brewery.

Saw this article, too. Maybe a road trip is in order for the club to go check it out?

I happen to be part owner of a Party Bus. Might make for a nice group outing. It can fit 33 or so people and has a fully funtional bathroom. If you ever saw the old 3rd Base Bus then that is the one, I believe we have pictures on our website www.teamwasp.org. I can't get it for free but I may be able to get a discount. A good one if anyone knows someone with a class B CDL, Passenger Endorsement and Airbrakes. Just something to keep in mind.

It would be great to find a driver for the party bus. We discussed a trip to visit breweries in and around Madison, Wisconsin this summer or fall. Depending on cost, it would be great to cover it with club dues. Anyone know a qualified driver with a tolerance for the inebriated?

Just as a reminder, if you send an e-mail to the club, please include a signature because we don't always recognize the sender's e-mail address. In this case: Who are you? The bus sounds good, BTW. Can you find out how much it would cost us to rent it? Thanks.
