Parkville Microbrew Fest Coming Up...

It pays to read others’ beer blogs today (props to Mar for mentioning this on the KC Beer Blog!). I was reminded of two blog-worthy facts today: Founder’s will be available in Missouri soon, and the Parkville Microbrew Fest is coming up in just a couple of weeks. This will be the 6th year for the festival, which will be at English Landing Park from 1:00 to 5:00 pm on May 2nd, 2009. I don’t know about you guys, but 4 hours seems like a challenge.

Here’s the official site of the beerfest. Looks like the cost of admission ($20) includes a tasting glass, a little cheat sheet for tasting, and – of course – samples! Food will also be available (for an additional cost).

There'll be "26+" breweries there and some live music. Here's the list from their website in a bit more readable (and clickable) format:

75th Street Brewery	Granite City Brewing Company	O'Fallon Brewery
Amerisports Brew Pub	High Noon Saloon	Schlafly Brewery
Blind Tiger Brewery	Iowa Brewers Guild	Shilling Bridge Winery & Brewery
Boulevard Brewing Company	Little Apple Brewing Company	Spilker Ale
Empyrean Ales	Lucky Bucket Brewing Company	Raccoon River Brewing Company
Flying Monkey	Mattingly Brewing Company	Rock Bottom Brewery
Free State Brewing Company	McCoy's Public House & Brewery	Tallgrass Brewing Company
Gella's Diner and Liquid Bread Brewing	Morgan Street Brewery	Tin Mill Brewery
Gordon Biersch	Nebraksa Brewing Company	Weston Brewing Company

I'm kickin it old school; that's my first HTML table attempt since 1994. Hope you guys like it. Or at least get a good laugh out of it...

Maybe I'll see you there!
