MADISON CRAFT BEER WEEK APRIL 29-MAY 8
Introduction
Welcome to
T
hank you for joining us for the sixth annual Madison Craft Beer Week. Since its launch in 2011 by a group of craft beer lovers, who were looking for a way to celebrate their drink of choice, and the craft brewing community, Madison Craft Beer Week has grown rapidly. This year, Isthmus has the privilege of carrying the torch for founders Jeff Glazer and Robyn Klinge, and we couldn’t be more proud. The success of Madison Craft Beer Week over the past six years has turned a small series of events into a yearly institution for the beer community. Madison Craft Beer Week is a celebration of the history, science and art of brewing craft beer. Every year the craft beer community grows, bringing new faces, better events and even more beers to try. From a limited barrel-aged release at your favorite craft beer shop, to a collaborative brew and bike pub crawl, we are excited for this 10-day event that celebrates our collective passion for craft beer. On behalf of our sponsors, breweries and all the local businesses that are participating this year, we thank you for your continued support of Madison Craft Beer Week.

Cask Ale or ‘real ale’ is made using traditional methods for fermenting and storing beer. Unpasteurized, unfiltered and unlike any beer you’ll find on the shelf or out of a keg, cask-conditioned ales are known for their unique flavor profiles and light natural carbonation.
