Midwest Spirits Festival
Everyone knows that the upper Midwest has some of the best grain in the world, so it stands to reason that we should have the best spirits as well. Join us for Madison's first celebration of Midwest spirits.
You'll have a chance to meet several producers who will guide you through their latest offerings and give you a glimpse into what's happening in the craft spirits world. And, of course, you'll be able to taste spirits crafted by Dancing Goat Distillery.
