2014 Cedar Rapids Beer Nuts Homebrew Festival

[carrisr]

The Cedar Rapids Beer Nuts Home Brew Club will be hosting a home brewing festival Saturday, September 27th from 1:00-5:00 PM at Benz Beverage Depot 501 7th Ave SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52401. Home brewing clubs from around the state will be traveling to Cedar Rapids to serve their one-of-a-kind beers to the public.

In addition to beer sampling, there will be live music, food vendors, soda sampling, and educational presentations. This is a very unique event in which home brewed beer is spotlighted. No commercial breweries will be in serving. This is one of only a handful of home brew-only festivals to be held in the United States. Admission is $20 in advance or $25 at the gate. Tickets can be purchased online at http://www.eventbrite.com/e/cedar-rapid ... 5?aff=eac2 or in person at Benz Beverage Depot, BIY Homebrew supply, or by contacting the Cedar Rapids Beer Nuts, cedarrapidsbeernuts@gmail.com. Designated drivers are admitted free and will receive a cup for sampling sodas. Proceeds from the event will benefit Pints for Prostates.

I posted the event on Reddit. The only reply was that the psa on the radio didn't mention the fest location. Any way this can be updated?

[kjball]

I'll check into it on Monday. I imagine it was deliberate, either as a way to get it under a certain time, or because Benz is a commercial estabishment and can;t be in a PSA?

[carrisr]

Right now it's a Web app. Phone apps may come at some point but not likely in time for this fest.

I noted when entering a soda that the beer entry page doesn't have a soda / NA category. I put it under Specialty Beer for now.

Also no option for cider.
