Charities
Because a great beer festival should support great beer!
Our festival is about sharing our love of great beer with others, not about raising money for the cause of the week or lining our own pockets. With this in mind, we don't make as much money to donate to charities as most festivals would - we put it into the beer you drink at the festival.
The money we do raise goes to beer related charities
Scholarship Funds
The proceeds from this festival will go to two scholarship funds for the Siebel Institute of Technology
Midwest Professional Brewers Scholarship Fund
To put professional brewers from the midwest through the Siebel Institute Consice Course on Brewing Technology program (or any other brewing related course of their choice). The idea is we all get better beer here in the Midwest!
Please contact us for application information. Applications for this year need to be in by July 1, 2011 and the recipient will be notified by September 1,2011.
Beer Barons' Homebrewer Scholarship Fund
To put a local homebrewer through the Siebel Institute Advanced Homebrewing Course. This increases the local knowledge in our homebrew community. Just as importantly, many of the regions professional brewers started out as homebrewers so this will also help contrinbute to more and better beer for all!
You want to help the cause? Attend our festival religiously and promote it to anybody who will listen!
Donations to the Pro-Brewer fund will be accepted but are not tax deductable
Past Charities
