You've heard the stories. You know it's not to be missed. You've been waiting for this message to appear. 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
