Fly-In Beer Festivals

Hmmmmmm, how come I knew just by the title of the post that it was from you
Jay? :-)

What, no step 4, stay another night followed by step 5, fly home? Oh, the
horror of having it be a one-way flight! :-)

Ok, that being said, no, I don't know of any others...

2. Milwaukee's "SprecherFest". Formerly held every Labor Day, it's now a
summer festival, sponsored by the best brewery anywhere, Sprecher Brewing.
Held this year on July 16th and 17th, at Old Heidelberg Park in nearby
Glendale, WI (5 miles from downtown Milwaukee), they have oompah bands
during the day, and blues bands at night. See more about it at
http://www.sprecherbrewery.com/sprecherfest.html . Timmerman Field
(MWC)
is located less than ten miles away.

Jay, you going to this one?

I grew up (so to speak) a couple blocks from there (Bay Ridge Ave. &
Lexington) and used to go sledding there.

Okay, before ANYONE says anything about how irresponsible it is for a
pilot
to be (*gasp!*) drinking beer, the qualifying rules a

1. Fly in to a nearby airport -- preferably within walking distance.
2. Stay the night somewhere.
3. THEN drink beer.

Actually, I would prefer to do my drinking *before* staying the night
somewhere.

Jay, you going to this one?

Dunno. We have a hard time getting away in the summer, since we're pretty
busy at the inn.

I'd sure like to, though. It's my perfect festival -- beer, polka, and
blues!

It's actually against the laws of physics for a blues lover to like polka.

It's some sort of a genetic defect in Germans, I think.

What has Polka to do with Germans or Germany? Or is it just another lost
in
translation thing?

Don't let Wisconsin know Polka and Germans don't go together.

Surely you jest, ja?

Most readers probably won't be able to make it in their plane across the
Atlantic, but there are at least some readers who are already on the
right side of that body of water for this one.

The Bay in Port Erin, in the Isle of Man, has a 'Hoptoberfest' - a real
ale festival. EGNS (Ronaldsway) is the closest airport, about 6 miles
away.
Also, the Sidings in Castletown has a fairly wide selection of beer all
year around. They also have a beerfest, I think during the Southern 100
road races in the summer. About 2 miles from EGNS. It's a good time to
go because the best road race of the year is on (there are four - the
TT at the end of May/start of June which is the famous one, on the
mountain circuit, the Southern 100 a few weeks later on a shorter
circuit in the south, the Jurby South which is truly terrifying, and the
Manx GP which is on the TT circuit in August)
