I was at the Bricktop last week and NBC's assistant brewer (his name escapes me right now) was handing out fliers for the event. On the flier was the breweries that would have beer at the fest:
Ska
NBC
Upstream
Spilker
Empyrean
Lucky Bucket
Thunderhead
Gottberg
Misty's
Platte Valley (not sure of this one...I thought they were no longer brewing)
Modern Monks
SchillingBridge
Tallgrass
Boulevard
Stevens Point
New Belgium
Spanish Peaks
Left Hand
Avery
Sierra Nevada
Odell
Big Sky
JW Dundee
Pig's Eye
Schmaltz
Granite City

Rockbottom will also have 6 taps pouring.
Nick - thank you very much for helping to spread the word! The brewery list that we initially used on our banner is actually a reprint of last year so Platte Valley isn't accurate. We'll be publishing an updated list shortly.
I know Eric Sorensen from Rock Bottom Des Moines is travelling. Upstream will have 2 booths representing each brewery as they are moving to do their own things on seasonals from time to time.
Looks like Jeremy Danner from Boulevard is driving up.
I contacted Ron Jeffries from Jolly Pumpkin but he's a tad busy - they distribute here but are trying to work through some distribution details.
Falcon asked for another table to expand the Lips of Faith selection.
Ron Nelson from New Belgium will be there as well.
I think we're looking at 6 taps, some Reserve Series bottles from our stash, and if we can swing it, a couple Pins with some really interesting stuff hidden inside.
So far so good - we're still working to iron out details as well.
Hope to see you all there - this is all about American Craft Beer - with a spotlight on Nebraska.
People still wonder if we even make beer here - let's show 'em! It's your time to get behind it!
Oh - almost forgot. Our new Assistant Brewer's name is Sam Riggins from Lincoln!
Thanks for the update, Paul.
