“There may be a bit of standing water due to the higher levels of the river”, said Tim Gobble, Executive Director for the Partners. “We have kept our eye on the weather and it’s supposed to be clear and sunny and the water levels are looking to go down about 6-9 inches- out of the way of the area we are using.”

Foodoptions for purchase at the Barley Hops include selections from a couple new options: Twisted River Food Truck & Orange Ember Food Truck.

Get your commemorative tasting pilsner glass at the Fort Madison Partners office (during regular business hours) or the day of event for $15.00. “We are setting the event up the same as last year, having all the vendors in one location providing the ability for people to enjoy the event while they mingle from one vendor to the other,” Gobble said.

“This way the participants will be able to try all the flavors within the time frame and enjoy food options on site”. Atlas will again be hosting all the breweries back at their place to talk about their brewery and their beers after 8:00 pm.
