Beer Garden Selections?

[Warthog]

I was sitting here thinking about the great beer at last years rally- Leinekugel's, aka the Pride of Chippewa Falls. That got me to thinking about what local brews will be available in the Beer Garden this year. Can the Beer Meister give us an update? :beer

I also came across this article in the Rocky Mountain News from Dec 07. Looks like hotel rates aren't the only thing that will be going up......


Proposal would triple Wyoming's beer tax
Here's a tax increase sure to make people cry in their beer. :(

That's right: Lawmakers are considering a tax increase on beer, and proponents say the mental health and substance abuse treatment that would benefit are good causes.

Wyoming taxes beer at 2 cents per gallon. A draft bill before the Select Committee on Mental Health and Substance Abuse would raise that to 6.5 cents per gallon.

By volume, the tax on beer is low. Wine is taxed at 28 cents per gallon. The tax on hard alcohol is 24 cents per gallon.

But Wyomingites drink enough beer that the increase would raise an additional $607,500 a year, based on the $270,000 raised by the 2-cent tax each year.

speaking of beverages...what is the situation for those of us that may not be able to drink wheat/barley/rye beverages? I cannot eat/drink/inhale gluten and wondering if other beverages are available or if I can bring a flask for my own personal use?

[Hodag]

theres a few gluten free beers out there...



for me
i hope fat tire

[BeerTeam]

We are still taste testing. A tedious process.

As far as price goes, prices are set by the distributors each quarter.

So how high is bottled water ?

Last year we had a thermos of ice water and cups available for free water, still bottle water out sold any of the beer brands.:buds

ha!

I mentioned it another thread, but it bears repeating here - I really appreciate the fact that regional beers are available at the beer tent. We are so fortunate that the rally organizers make an effort to make each rally a unique experience which embraces the locale. Bravo!

oh and MplsK100RT, I can't speak officially, but rally attendees have always been free to bring in their own food and beverages.

[MplsK100RT]

cool, because unless there are ingredient lists for each and every vendor I cannot eat much of what they will offer. It's unfortunate, but if I am still able to attend I will have to survive on bars and whatever else I can manage to cram into my side bags.

[Holly]

I have already requested that the beer team look into having some gluten free beer available. I'm hoping it works out for us.

Food at rallies is always a problem as most fast food is guaranteed be full of wheat. There was one vendor at West Bend who checked the labels for me and I did find something to eat there. :eat I always bring the bars and crammed saddle bags too.

with gluten free beer and a falafel stand I'd be a happy camper :laugh

Not sure about the gluten free beer Holly but I vote for the falalfel stand. I'll try that beer on the 9th when I see you.

I loved the two rallies I've attended so far. I would not dream of complaining about a single thing. All the hard work of the volunteers is massively commendable.

But if someone really *insisted* that I come with one area to improve it would have to be the food vendors. County fair fast food fare is fine and even fun for a one day event. But four days of deep fried carbs and red meat is a dietary disaster. We should be nicer to ourselves.

Granted, falafel itself is deep fried (and therefore delicious) but at least it is vegetarian and your typical falafel stand usually has other stuff which is much healthier than pretty much anything I've seen at a rallies I've attended.

I was thinking that if BUD is already there that they could get a hold of the GF beer that they make. There are a few other brands also, but I've actually never tried any of them. I stick to my Grey Goose and a twist.

I agree.
Many times food vendors have contracts with the the host facility. The group renting the facility can only use the vendors and products that the host facility have under contract.

Last year, after we had our Rally at West Bend, I attended the Washington County Fair. All I can say is "WOW" the Rally Chair did a real good job of picking the best food vendors.

..what is the situation for those of us that may not be able to drink wheat/barley/rye beverages? I cannot eat/drink/inhale gluten and wondering if ...

As always, we will have wine cooler type of beverages like Mike's Hard Lemonade

We will have NA BEER. In the past it has been O'Douls Alcohol Free Beer

[MplsK100RT]

Cider is great, but not all are GF. Woodchuck cider is, however. What is the ice and cooler situation at this rally? Is ice available on site? I can always pack a foldable cooler.

[manicmechanic]

Yes, ice is available on site. I should let you know that ice sales do not go on late into the night, so plan ahead.

[MplsK100RT]

I was just thinking something for afternoon to evening. It would be nice after riding and seeing things all day just to veg with my cooler and ipod and a book.

[MplsK100RT]

BTW, BeerTeam...Mikes hard Lemonade and any MALT beverage is made from gluten...barley malt is gluten as is anything with rye or wheat. I miss my smirnoff ice because of that, too. Anywho, I'm sure there's a store of some sort in gillette that can assist with any inebreation needs that may become necessary.

[KGT1200]

O'Douls = Coors. Saint Pauly Girl NA = well, Saint Pauly Girl ... O'Douls is made for the masses, and BMW NA riders are not in the masses!:laugh

Just my opinion...I'm not that picky but would pay premium for a premium beer on a hot Wyoming day!

[gambrinus]

I'm certain that there will be no shortage of fine beers available at the rally... Just across the CO border in Ft. Collins , sit two of the better (best?) small brewers in the state; New Belgium, makers of "Fat Tire" and O'Dells, makers of "5 Barrel Pale Ale" and "90 Shilling Ale". I can also state for a fact that my side cases will each hold over a case of beer with ice.

I'm an NA guy myself. May I suggest Labatt's Nordic. Now this is some tasty NA brew. Free O'Doules is allright, but the urination factor must be considered. One O'Doules typically = three trips to the bathroom................. :dunno

O'Douls is a Bud product. Coors NA product is called Sharps.

Really? I could have sworn Sharps was a Miller product? I dunno which is more of a distasteful prospect. Coors is a pretty abysmal corporation, but at least it is still an American abysmal corporation.

My wife also has Celiac Disease and would really appreciate being able to quaff a few GF beers. BTW, she says that the Bud product is rather foul compared to some other brands such as Ramapo and New Grist. Does anyone know if there is a Whole Foods market near the rally site.

New Belgium http://www.newbelgium.com/index.php is my personal favorite and I discovered a couple of their lesser known beers like "Skinny Dip" which is their Summer beer - New Belgium’s Skinny Dip is a full-bodied, figure-friendly beer perfect for the lightly attired summer months. Cascade hops frolic with kaffir lime and ample malt to create a bright, citrusy nose that’s as crisp as chilling in a mountain pond. Skinny Dip * a most revealing beverage.

Another favorite is "Blue Paddle" - Blue Paddle Pilsener, crafted without the use of adjuncts like corn or rice, explores the boundaries where American Lagers seldom journey. Reflective of Europe’s finest Pilsener’s, Blue Paddle delivers a refreshing bitterness, vibrant finish and a subtle but intricate depth of flavor. With Blue Paddle, we wanted to produce a beer that was definitive of the upper echelon. Peter Bouckaert and our brew staff drew inspiration from outside the world of Belgian ales for the generously hopped lager. Blue Paddle has a bit more body than the traditional Belgian pils and is closer in style to a Bohemian Style. High impact crispness from noble hop varieties finishes with a rich panoply of malt flavor.

:drink It's all Goooood

Unfortunately my other half has me on the Weight Watchers diet and all I'm allowed right now is an occassional lite beer. Fortunately she's not coming to the rally. :dance

[Warthog]

I came across this on the New Belgium website. They are really into bicycles but thought I would toss this out there for the sponsorship committee. The BMW Foundation's Camp Gears might be a good starting point.

New Belgium's Sponsorship Program

So, you’re doing something good and you want us to join you? Excellent! Tell us about it.

We at New Belgium love to get involved. We sponsor a whole bevy of cool events and goings on throughout the western United States. And while we would like to align with all that is good and worthy, we sometimes have to gracefully decline.

A few things we look for when selecting events and sponsorship opportunities:

* TIMING: Yep, it takes time to get the beer there. So, start talking to us at least two months to a year prior to your event. For large events, we generally need even more time.

* BRANDING: It’s important that your event allows us to showcase what New Belgium is all about. We look for PLAYFUL, UNIQUE, and DELIGHTFUL events. We’re a folly following bunch, and we like to support fellow folly followers.

* SUSTAINABILITY: From brewing beer to building events, we want to do all we can to reduce our footprint. That’s why we partner with likeminded organizations. In addition, we’re very interested in events that support environmental non-profits.

* PARTICIPATION: We prefer to be hands-on and on-premise with events. So, if you’re pitching a logo placement, we’ll generally pass unless it comes with a chance to meet and greet.

* LOCATION: As much as we’d love to go to New York or Florida, for now, we have to wait. We’ll gladly consider events in the states we’re located. (CO, WY, TX, AZ, NM, AR, MO, KS, CA, NV, ID, WA, OR, MN, IA, MT, IL, NE)

* DONATIONS: Our sponsorship dollars have to reflect our brand. So, if you’re wanting a good will donation or philanthropic grant go to: www.newbelgium.com/donation-form.php

* TEAMS/INDIVIDUAL ATHLETES: Due to the overwhelming amount of requests we get to sponsor athletic teams and individuals, we decided it’s just too hard to pick. So, aside from a few family and friend’s teams, we pass on these types of sponsorships.

* BANDS: Ditto on the above.

If your event fits these guidelines, then fill out the following form. We’ll take a look at your request, and get back to you within a week.

I just noticed this thread and just have to chime in as another attendee who is gluten intolerant. It is a problem when traveling and rally food is generally off limits. While it is possible to purchase gluten free beer locally sometimes, it depends on the area. I was in Tucson last spring and found one liquor store in the entire Tucson area that had even heard of gluten free beer - and they didn't have it. In other areas, Walmart carries Redbridge (West Bend, WI for one) but it would be surprising if anyone in Gillette has it. Unless the beer tent folks can locate a local supply, I think our adult beverages will be the kind you sip. Maybe the Celiacs should get together to share wine, brandy, rum, cognac, potato vodka, corn vodka...Hmm...maybe we're not so deprived after all! :whistle

[bmdubyou]

It would be nice (I'm just dreaming here-I know) but what if the beer tent actually offered other refreshments besides water or beer!? Sort of in following the theme of a recent ON article.
At the west bend rally...if one wanted something other than beer you had to walk elsewhere & pay $3 or more for a coke...but if he wanted cheep beer...no prob. HOw about offering something for those who dont drink booze or dont wish to all the time!?

In West Bend the Beer Garden carried freshly brewed blond Root Beer along with wine and wine coolers for sale. The water was in the water-jugs on the table tops for free.

Most times the beer garden sells soda also, but the Coke prices were prohibitive for us in 2007. We opted to avoid the ridiculous pricing for the soda sales last summer by letting the food vendors handle all soda sales. Most food vendors sold the soda for $2 / bottle. And trust me on this ... at $2, those vendors were NOT making any money on that soda.

Sue,

I preface this remark by saying I loved the root beer at West Bend, and drank quite a few in three days. But sometimes sweet soda pop does not even come close to quenching your thirst or cleaning one's palette!:drink

Especially if your over the age of 13 or so. My suggestion for the Rally organizers is consider brewing fresh ice tea, served side to side with the beer. Having can beer or other canned stuff, I am sure is a budget buster! Don't tmake us NA guys go over to the old men tent and drink coffee!:drink ;)

Is it just me or does anybody else think it might just be a BAD IDEA to have a beer company sponsor Camp Gears, an educational program for new/young riders some of whom probably aren't even of legal drinking age.

Searching the Internet for answers/information isn't always a good idea. :type

If the past is any guide, the answer is yes. The last several rallys have had Bud and Miller products in cans for us regular blue collar types, along with some "local" brews on tap tor the "more discerning" (I did not say, effete) among us.

I was not advocating the New Belgium sponsoring Camp Gears but the international rally itself and the money from the sponsorship of the rally could be donated to Camp Gears which is a non-profit and teaches safe riding for younger members.

As your Jan 08 ON article pointed out, targeted public information and education programs are a good way to begin reducing number of impaired riding accidents. Some beer companies sponsor education programs such as Anheuser-Busch's "Responsibility Matters" campaign. Why shouldn't beer companines support these types of educational efforts which should include the impact of impaired riding.

[jaherbst]

It would only be fitting if our vender served at least one German beer. Since our BMWs are made in Germany it would make sense. Rumor has it that they will actually run on a good German beer. Anyone out there tried it?

Personally I am trying to locate a pair of Leiderhosen to wear at the rally.

A good Polka Band would also add some international flavor.

How about an Octoberfest in the fall for Beemer Riders?

Here I go thinking outside the "bun" again. Looking forward to meeting you all and enjoying the rally. CHEERS:drink

[judjones]

Ideally, the beer garden committee would not screw around, and simply stock Summit Pale Ale. It's a Saint Paul brew that compares favorably with microbrews from Colorado and elsewhere. Saint Paul is not too far from Gilette, so Summit would be entirely appropriate.

[Coloradoclc]

Been watching the thread... a lot of good input. Since we will be partying/riding in the western states (WY is considered the "west"); here's my pitch for malt beverages:

1 New Belgian Brewing. It's been mentioned in this thread. Unique beers...their most popular being Fat Tire.
2. Coors. Brewed in CO. Supports a lot of WY farmers. Much of there barley is grown in WY. My suggestion is Coors and Killian's Red
3. Bud. Also brewed in CO. My suggestion is Bud Lt and O'Doul's (their NA beer).
4. For foreign suds. Heineken, Tecate....soooo many to chose from. I'd say limit to 2-3.

Now I'm thirsty....see ya.

[judjones]

Please, no Coors products.

If anyone rides through Ashland Wis.on their way to Gillette,:brow stop at the South Shore Brewery and try the Nut Brown Ale. I was not a dark beer guy until I tried this beer and now I'm hooked.

For those traveling thru Colorado to the rally and looking for a couple of good beers, thought this article would be of interest in today's Gazette.

Very amusing that last year we went to Colorado and didn't venture north past Denver to visit any Breweries. We did however, go to a local beer store and buy several Colorado Beers and brought them home to Texas. Never thought anything else about it, just stuck them in the pantry. Well, guess what...in the pantry sat the 4 beers from O'Dells that will be at the rally. Guess what my husband will be sampling tomorrow???? :drink :laugh
