No one should need an excuse to celebrate beer, but from May 11th through May 20th, Cedar Rapids is giving you the ultimate excuse, by dedicating an entire week to our beloved beverage. It's Cedar Rapids Beer Week!

There will be beer-centric events happening across the city all week long and yes, a week is only 7 days, but they're giving you 3 extra days of beer drinking festivities! Don't miss the 2018 Iowa Brewers Olympics, Benz BeerFest, Beer Pop Culture Trivia, the Cellar & Vinyl Series, and so much more! Be sure to check the Cedar Rapids website for more information and updates!

Plus the local Cedar Rapids breweries all got together to brew the 3rd iteration of the Cedar Rapids Beer Week collaboration beer. This year's brew is a Golden Ale with Mango, named "80% Hugging." Why, you ask? Well, local brewers interact like a lot of families and hug it out about 80% of the time. It's a warm Mango embrace with a Citra Hop smooch on the cheek. Cheers to Local Beer!
