  • 2015 Festival Organizers and Staff
    Welcome from the President ELCOME TO THE 29TH ANNUAL Great Taste of the Midwest. At a time when we probably should be over- whelmed by the explosive growth of the craft beer industry, we are too busy trying to figure Wout how to make this event a better experience for all. To that end, we are excited that we have maintained the same foot- print as we’ve had in past years, but have added more brewer space, by moving our merch tents and adding a few new tents to a previously restricted staff only area of the park (inside the “loop road”). This allows us bring in some new brewers while continuing to bring back the brewers that you come to expect to see at the Great Taste of the Midwest. I would like to thank Great Taste Chairman, Mark Garthwaite and the multitude of volunteers that make this event happen. We are all very proud that this is the only event of this size that is run by a 100% volunteer effort. Their passion for beer is a large part of what makes a volunteer effort of this size a success. I would also like to thank all of the Brewers that come to the Great Taste of the Midwest. All of “our” passion for beer flows from their passion. As the event has grown and produced more return Brewers each year, we’ve come to think of the Brewers as family coming home every year on the second Saturday in August. Sadly, I have to acknowledge the passing of several MHTG members since the last Great Taste.

  • Breweries Public House Breweries East Street Brewery at Kilham
    Breweries The once numerous local breweries in East Yorkshire have long since vanished, with only a few remaining. Two hundred years ago, in almost every village there was a common brewer, or brewing victualler, producing beer for local customers. At the beginning of the 18th century, the ‘brewing victualler’ made most of the beer sold. He bought malted barley locally and hops from travelling agents And produced enough beer for his customers, and maybe one or two other public houses. Later the title changed to the ‘common brewer’ when they were able by law to sell beer only to other publicans and private customers. The end of the 19th century saw the takeover of small breweries unable to compete with the larger ones. This led to ‘branches’ or agencies being used far away from the main home base, and the old site being used as a depot. The small brewer had virtually disappeared. Public House Breweries The breweries in public houses were small, with simple equipment. This was usually a one-quarter plant, designated in the traditional manner by the quantity of malted barley used in each brew. A five-quarter plant was able to mash five quarters (i.e. 5 x 28Ib) of malt per brew, producing 27 ¾ barrels (1 barrel = 36 imperial gallons) of bitter. The brewing skill was passed from generation to generation. Boys were apprenticed to other brewers or with their own kin. Brewing victuallers often combined other skills, as brewing was a seasonal activity. Robert Sanders of Leven was victualler, brewer, maltster, coal merchant, corn miller and vet at The New Inn.

  • Encouraging Uniformity and Consistency in Draught Beer Systems, System Maintenance and Beer Dispense by Developing Draught Beer Quality Technical Standards Fy 2008
    ENCOURAGING UNIFORMITY AND CONSISTENCY IN DRAUGHT BEER SYSTEMS, SYSTEM MAINTENANCE AND BEER DISPENSE BY DEVELOPING DRAUGHT BEER QUALITY TECHNICAL STANDARDS FY 2008 Draught beer accounts for 10% of total U.S. beer sales with a retail value in 2007 of $10 billion. For U.S. craft breweries draught beer is an even larger share of their business, accounting for 27% of sales in 2007. Draught sales are increasing as consumers gain appreciation for the superior taste and the environmental benefits of beer packaged in kegs as opposed to disposable bottles and cans. Unfortunately, there are no uniform standards for brewers, wholesalers, retailers and draught beer service companies pertaining to draught line installation, equipment, line cleaning procedures and materials, gas dispense, system temperatures, system balance, pouring and glassware cleaning procedures. When draught systems are improperly constructed and maintained, the result can be damaged or ruined beer and dissatisfied customers. In this project, the Brewers Association researched the optimal construct and maintenance of draught beer systems, compiled that research into a technical standards manual, and educated the beer trade about the standards.
