Now it's time to sign up for BEER GOOD BUS TRIP IV.
For those who don't know, each fall I organize a bus
trip through Wisconsin, focusing on brewpubs, but
stopping at other places of interest as well. It all
began when Al Boyce got us on a bus to the AHA National
Convention in Chicago and we stopped at various beer
hubs going out and coming back. Two years ago I took
a group straight across WI, hitting eleven beer stops,
last year we went through northern 'Sconnie, and this
year we head down toward Madison. We take a luxury
coach, complete with bathroom and movies. I'm still
finalizing a few stops, but on Saturday and Sunday,
October 13th and 14th, we'll hit no fewer than six
brewpubs, two microbreweries, one winery, and one
cheesery(?)! We'll have the people's choice contest
to start the trip (around 7:00 a.m. Saturday), and
will return around 9:00 Sunday evening. We'll stay
overnight in Madison, within staggering distance from
Great Dane. Assuming 30 people come along, the bus
cost will be around $60 per person. Just to be clear,
I always pay the same amount for the bus and hotel
as everyone. I don't pay my way off the rest of the
group. Don't be left behind. Send your non-refundable
$50 deposit to John Longballa, 1211 Minnehaha Ave
W, Saint Paul, MN 55104. Please include all contact
information, including e-dress, and please indicate
how you would prefer the room situation to be for
your group. More details to follow, but I won't take
more than 35 people, so don't delay! Thanks, John
