Ride on!
In the past it was 4-8 on Thursday. I haven't read on the list about this year.
MAD DOG here:
If no one has contacted Paul Ruffell, it is not in place. i would suggest that someone contact him at moa2018volunteers@gmail.com to "book" that time, with an estimate of volunteers. That can be firmed up later.
It is not too soon for ALL groups to get their historic time slots.

You will still see a "big guy" on tap, regular and light. This is done for price segmenting as well as preference. There will be 4 "crafts" but be aware that when we have SHOCK TOP for the wheat that it is owned by...BUD. {Which is now AMBEV}. Not always easy to get away from the elephants in the room.

Oh I know the game very well, I was the 14th Certified Cicerone in Canada, 1st east of Montreal. I have spent a LOT of time studying everything to do with beer.
It's not hard to move dedicated Bud Light drinkers to a nice light craft beer offering if you only have that to give them and you give them some good information on what it is and why they should be drinking it.
AB InBev and Coors are very good at offering up "crafty" beers with nothing to tell the consumer who they're giving their $$ to. Besides their dedicated brands such as Blue Moon and Shock Top they are buying up many craft breweries and selling only under the original name. Think Goose Island and Elysian. The world of beer is getting hazier and hazier in North America.
Yes the little guys are also out to make $$ and they deserve to make a living. In my experience they happily support events in their local areas as it generates good will and likely more supporters who will drink their beer which is great for keeping the $$ in the local area and for providing jobs in the same local areas. If local events buy the beer to sell at such events it puts more $$ in the pockets of local business.

Sounds good to me.
Craft Beers
MD here.
Am in contact with the vendor that the MOA will be working with and will sort out the selections soon. Historically we have had an IPA {but not TOO hoppy}, a wheat, an amber { like a Killian} and a stout or porter. {We had a chocolate porter a few years back that went over well. Tasted a lot like chocolate milk, so everyone had it for brunch! LOL}
