The Almost completed tent |
Its the day before the fair, all the work has been done, and now there is only one thing left to do, drink. I have traveled over 1,300 miles this summer visiting the amazing people that are providing the beer, cider and root beer for this event. As I sit here writing this I realize, Iowa we are one lucky group of people. We have some very talented brewers in our state along with a bunch of people that are working very hard to progress craft beer in this state. A number of these brewers could work anywhere in the country, but they choose to stay in Iowa making quality beer for quality people. Events like the Iowa Craft Beer Tent take hundreds of quality volunteers and a couple of people with the smarts to get the job done right. Scott Carlson, is the man with the idea he is the owner of the tent and along with his general manager Steve Linn, they have made this event awesome.
The beer of course is the most important atraction at the tent. With thirteen Iowa breweries bringing twenty-eight beers and a hard cider there wont be any shortage of high-quality beverages. If there wasn't already enough, the tent is also having three regional breweries, Lucky Bucket, Goose Island and Summit. Yes I know they're out of state but us Iowans are always an inviting bunch so we might as well let them join us. Root Beer from the various Iowa breweries will also be rotated throughout the fair also.
