The event is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Country Pub, 409 Main St. The festival will include national breweries as well as these from Nebraska: Gottberg's of Columbus, Nebraska Brewing of Papillion, Upstream of Omaha, Spilker Ales of Cortland, Modern Monks of Lincoln and Lucky Bucket of La Vista. Several national breweries also will participate.
A local home brewer, the Rev. Philip Hale, will explain the craft of home brewing. Appetizers and an auction of beer-related items will round out the activities, said Nancy Gillis, the site's director.
Tickets are $20 per person. Advance tickets for $25 include a glass Neihardt mug. Tickets may be ordered from the Neihardt State Historic Site at 1-888-777-4667 or online at neihardt@gpcom.net.
Participants must be 21 to take part in the tasting. Identification will be required.
More than 100 people participated in last year's inaugural event, which pays homage to John G. Neihardt's love of beer and is a fundraiser for the Neihardt historic site. Neihardt, who died in 1973 at age 92, is Nebraska's poet laureate and author of “Black Elk Speaks.”
Let us know how the event goes. It is great seeing more and more beer festivals across this state start popping up, well done Bancroft!
