I've always envied brewers. Being a beer lover, I've been enamored by the behind-the-scenes of brewing beer. It's the main reason I started my "What's Tappening" segment. I get to talk to brewers about what got them into the industry and learn parts of the job that I never even considered.

Blue Cat Brewing Co

There's a lot more to brewing beer than coming up with catchy names & cool bottle art. If you're looking to jump head-first into that mash-tun this is a great event to learn more about the business and the art of brewing.

Winter season in the Quad Cities means cold temperatures, heavy snow, and slick roads.
