Modern Monks beer bus still has seats open for April 19th
We will leave from the Sam’s Club parking lot April 19 at 11:30. Please be there by 11:15 as we need to leave promptly. We will use a corner of the lot closest to 27th Street. We will be in Grand Island for a tour of the Modern Monks Brewery by 1:00 p.m. We will depart around 3:15 p.m. and head to Kearney where we will stay until 8:30 p.m. and return to Lincoln by 10:30 p.m.
In Kearney you can visit Thunderhead and Platte Valley breweries and weather permitting the beer garden at Platte Valley. There will be prizes, treats and food and drink specials. Feel free to bring beer or snacks on the bus. The cost is $40 per person. Food and drink at the breweries is extra. Tickets are on sale now.
Checks should be made payable to Modern Monks. Tickets by mail to Modern Monks, 2630 S 13th, Lincoln NE 68502.
I have been on many bus trips with these fellas. Plan on sleeping on the bus driving back cuz it gets a bit brutal. The worst was when we headed up to Lawrence and stopped by Pony Express brewery early and they forgot that we needed a tour. They put us in the tasting tap room and said drink all you want. We already had bunches of kegs on the bus, and by the time we made it to Free State Brewery I pretty much go blank. Oh man.
Looks Like I will be hitting this adventure up for sure.
The Thunderhead has *good* food and beer. I’d highly recommend it.
