Capital City Beerfest in Lincoln

We received this press release today to promote the Capital City Beerfest.  This beer fest is being put on by the same folks that put on the Capital City Ribfest and manage Pinnacle Bank Arena.  They heard a need for a festival and thought it a great opportunity to share the Pinnacle Bank Arena as well as all that is going on down in the Railyard and Haymarket.
