On Saturday February 13th, we had our annual Stiftungsfest celebration. This year we did something a little different: we took a bus to Monroe for dinner at the Turner Hall. Before dinner we stopped at Minhas Brewery to sample some of their products and sing a few songs. And on our way back to Madison we stopped at Puemple’s Olde Tavern in New Glarus for a beer and a few more songs.

We encountered a little turbulence on our bus ride to Monroe, so the flight attendant distributed Jaegermeister. Purely for medicinal purposes of course.

Our first stop was the Minhas Brewery. Here's a view of the "Great Wall of Regal Brau" outside of the tasting room.

We were able to sample several of the Minhas beers.

And naturally we sang a few songs.

The tasting room is a very comformtable place to have a beer and sing.

Afterward we headed for the bus, which was conveniently parked by the Distillery.

Nobody leaves Minhas empty handed!

After a beer and a few songs, it was time to head back to Madison.
I like reading about the successful past events, but is there a blog for upcoming events that I can still attend? That would be helpful for me.
Hi Julia! I do try to post a list of upcoming events every month or two, but if there are a lot of other posts, it quickly gets pushed off of the front page. If you type “upcoming events” into the search box on the upper right side, you should be able to get a list of these posts. I do try to keep the most recent one up to date, and I delete the old ones eventually.
The other option would be to keep an eye on the Calendar page (in the main menu). This will have all of the future events for which we have a time and date. But note that it also includes some events that we won’t be performing at, but may be of general interest.
