2012 program - Madison Homebrewers and Tasters Guild

2012 Festival Organizers and Staff
The Great Taste of the Midwest is not organized by professionals but if it
were, the organizers below would no doubt be among the best in the business.
They have tended to every detail to ensure that the talent and passion
of some of the world’s most creative brewers are featured front and center.
They are to be congratulated for their accomplishments.
