Join us here for live coverage of the Isthmus Beer & Cheese Fest on Saturday. Now in its third year, the festival is held at the Alliant Energy Center's Exhibition Hall on the south side of Madison. Dozens of breweries, cheesemakers, and specialty food vendors will be serving samples of their craft beers, artisanal cheeses, and other creations.
A list of participants, what they're serving, and a map can be found in the festival guide, and a series of tips detail the best approaches for making the most out of the day.
The fest runs from 2-6 p.m. on Saturday, January 21. Tickets are $45 at the door, while Premium Tasting tickets (for a 1 p.m. entry) are $75 and pairing session tickets are $10. Attendees must be 21 and older, and proper ID is required. Follow the fest on Facebook for updates and for more details.
Throughout the day, we'll be pulling feeds from Twitter about the fest. Comments about the festival will follow #BeerCheese -- please use this hashtag to join in the discussion.
