Beer & Cheese Fest
Red Card Media
The 2022 Beer and Cheese Fest is Jan. 22 at the Alliant Energy Center.
Having been to a number of Beer & Cheese events over the years, we can attest to the breadth of beers and warmth of spirit at this mid-winter sampling celebration. Although no longer affiliated with Isthmus, the event will look and feel much the same, with 70-some breweries already signed on, along with a few cideries and at least one winery. And you'll likely discover a brewery you never knew existed. Piano Fondue dueling pianos will be playing, there will be hammerschlagen, and in addition to the cheese samples, food carts will be vending onsite. VIP session starts at noon; general admission starts at 2 p.m. All attendees must be fully vaccinated. Find ticket and other info at beerandcheesefest.com.
