Beer Steward needed

We are looking for volunteers for Beer Steward at the monthly meetings. Remember, this is no longer a year long obligation, only a 3 or 4 month commitment.

Beer Tastings at The Olympic


The Olympic is still hosting a beer tasting on the first Thursday of every month. Cost is $10 per person. Tasting starts at 7:00 pm. Give them a call if you need more info. Also, they are hosting several beer pairing dinners in the near future.

Pouring starts at 7pm and will cease pouring at 9pm. Complimentary snacks will be provided. Please call ahead to reserve your ticket as space is limited @ 815-962-8758, or RSVP on their Facebook page @ http://www.facebook.com/theolympictavern
