I finally won a chance to buy tickets to the Great Taste of the Midwest!! This is an annual charitable event held in Madison, WI by the Madison Homebrewers and Tasters Guild. Tickets are insanely hard to get – you have to mail for them on a specific date (May 1st) with a self addressed stamped envelope and a check. If they aren’t post-marked that day, you don’t get into the drawing. 3000 tickets are sold in person around Madison. 2000 are drawn from the qualifying envelopes. I’ve tried several years in a row to get these and finally made it! I’m smiling like a fool.

Rick,
If all goes according to plan, we’ll be in Madison together talking to some amazing brewers and tasting some amazing brews!!!
I’m all smiles too,

Well, this event is come and gone. I’m suffering from post festival depression. Good thing my GABF tickets showed up! 🙂 Now I can’t wait till October.
