The Great Taste is, to our knowledge, the second longest-running craft beer festival in North America. This year, over 105+ breweries & brewpubs served about 500 different beers in Madison, Wisconsin (Beer Capital of the Midwest!).  On beautiful Lake Monona in Olin-Turville Park one could enjoy a view of the state capitol, with great food for sale, and room to spread out in the sun or shade.  Everyone enjoyed the beers and music, and the celebrity brewer dunk tank for charity.

MBC's Joe Krautkramer, Stu Crittenden, Tim O'Callaghan, and Janie Roy drove the "Green Machine", a 1-ton Ford F-350 powered by 1:1 regular diesel, and biodiesel produced onsite at MBC, to Madison on a 'bio-mission'.  (Read the full story here)
