The Squeezettes

The perennial favorite band of the Beer Barons

Because great beer goes best with great music!

Power polka - "Milwaukee's only all female accordion group" - Sarah (aka Ms. Bubbles Galore!), Linda (Miz...Tiny Bubbles) and Pamela (aka Ms. Big Surprise!) are the gals on the squeezebox. Sarah runs the lead vocal front of the bunch, with the gals doing some swinging background - Meoooooowww, Meoooooows etc.

Mike C. our Tuba player is a brewmaster at heart, but knows how to belch out a note or two hundred when we say "pretty please", or when a few "Shots for the Tuba Player & Band" are available. Our newest addition is Mike E our drummer and vocalist, percussionist extraordinaire, we're glad to have him part of the group.

Speakers

We wanted to expand the festival from just tasting to include more educational opportunities for those wanting to learn more about beer, brewing, and other aspects of our favorite subject.

The talks are about 30 minute presentations with time for questions afterward. This provides enough time to cover a limited subject without taking too much time from your tasting activities!

This years speakers:

	Jeff Garwood - Big Bay Brewing Big Bay Brewing is in Shorewood, WI. Jeff Garwood is a cofounder of the company. Jeff will talk about what it takes to start up a brewing company. Jeff formerly worked in marketing at Miller Brewing and decided he wanted to do his own thing.

	Jim Klisch - Lakefront Brewing Jim and his brother Russ started Lakefront Brewing Co in 1987 as their homebrewing grew out of control. Jim will talk about Lakefront, how they started and grew into one of the most successful breweries in Wisconsin. Jim is no longer an employee of Lakefront but is still active in promoting it.
