• Saturday May 7, 3pm(ish) Garden City Brewfest Bayern will be tapping a wooden barrel of some of the last Maibock for the season. This festival, which was actually started jointly between Bayern, The Rhino, Iron Horse Brewpub and Worden's Market (so its actually called a B.R.I.W.-fest) has now become a champion of the wonderful Missoula Downtown Association. Craft Beer from all around the Northwest (and some other places too). Click here for more info.

It should also be noted that Bayern is getting some national recognition at the Brewers Association Craft Brew Conference in Philadelphia, PA next week. Bayern's Brewmaster, Thorsten Geuer, will be speaking about our bottle washer and other sustainability efforts at the conference. Bayern even got a cool write-up in Beer Advocate magazine that has recently gained more attention.

Oh - check this out! The website myrecipes.com recently posted a list of the best breweries in each of the 50 States. Guess who was #1 in Montana?! Follow this link to see the article. It was re-posted on MSNBC and other sources. Very cool.

Hope you all take part in at least part of Missoula Craft Beer Week and, no matter what, enjoy your life, springtime and some good beer.
