And on Tuesday AleSmith has their WI launch party with Vietnamese Speedaway on tap.



Don’t tell everyone...how am I going to get the Vietnamese Speedway ALL FOR MYSELF??

Well you could at least have told them it was Thursday so they wouldn’t go Tuesday and find out it was Wednesday. Come on, work with me here.

Personally I am boycotting unless they also bring the Pho Speedway.

Hey, if anyone can help me out with two tickets I’d really appreciate it. Willing to pay cash and throw some beers on top. Send me a message and let’s talk.


NM, I’m taken care of.

If anyone can hang out on Sunday for a little bit, my wife and I will be helping out at a Central Waters breakfast at her aunt’s place, Greenbush Bar: http://www.ratebeer.com/event/22155/greenbush-bar-central-waters-hair-of-the-dog-breakfast/ - It’s their first-ever official GTMW weekend event.

Central Waters Peruvian Morning, Illumination, and Hop Rise will be on tap. The other taps will be open as well (usually have New Glarus, Tyranena, Lake Louie, Milwaukee- all local), as will a full bar. Drinks are for purchase, and the $16.50 ticket includes an Italian-style brunch buffet with meats, cheeses, pastries, smoked fish, etc.

Tickets available here: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/436814

I can’t make it to this event, but I love Greenbush Bar. Love the food, drinks, and low ceilings in that place.

Me and Jess usually skip town early and/or hit Vintage for brunch.

This sounds more likely. Nice opp to meet up. I suggest it to others as well

What time does the Toppling Goliath party start on friday? We are debating when we should be leaving Chicago to make it up in time for it

Dexter’s opens at 11.

But that doesn’t mean all the beers are on then.

I don’t think special stuff was brought out till the evening last year.
