Great Taste of Madison
Friday, August 8 | 5-8pm
Get to know Madison's robust and diverse craft beverage scene right down the road from the Great Taste of the Midwest festival grounds! We’ll be hosting guest beers from 16 Madison-area breweries, cideries, and distilleries representing a broad range of styles and flavors for the discerning craft beverage enthusiast. Meet representatives from the guest makers, learn more about their products, and buy a flight for a chance to win brewery swag! Don't forget to grab a bite from our friends at Caracas Empanadas!
Every year, Madison plays host to the Great Taste of the Midwest, drawing top breweries from the Midwest and craft beer lovers from around the country. We love our brewery friends from out of town, but we decided it was time to give our visitors a chance to really get to know the host city for this top-tier festival. Featuring some makers that won't be at the festival on Saturday, this pre-Great Taste event concentrates on the Great Taste of Madison that we're all so proud of. As the brewery closest to the Great Taste festival grounds, Delta Beer Lab is proud to be the perfect taproom to host our local friends for the night.
Speed Meeting
Meeting new friends is hard. Where do you look? How do you choose who to talk to? Or what to talk about? And who has the time??? Taking a cue from speed dating, but removing the pressure and stress of romantic expectations, Delta is proud to debut a new form of community-building: Speed Meeting!
Happening the second Thursday of every month, this event takes the guesswork out of new social connections. Show up, grab a beverage, and let Delta staff do the rest. And feel free to bring a friend: The more the merrier! We'll provide the conversation prompts (and the timer), and attendees will get the opportunity to have a short but lively discussion with a rotating set of fellow community-seekers. Stick around after the official programming to mingle and pick up where you left off with your brand-new pals. Meeting new people has never been so easy, or so quick!
Steven Spielberg Themed Trivia
Friday, August 29 | 7-9 pm
Delta Beer Lab is easing into the end of summer by celebrating the director who invented the summer blockbuster film: Steven Spielberg!

From Aliens to Twilight Zones, deep caverns to open waters, and comedy to tragedy, Spielberg has covered it all.
Join us on Friday, August 29 from 7 - 9 pm to test your movie knowledge! And don't fill up on popcorn (or Reese's Pieces!): The Walking Jerk will be there serving vegan Jamaican Jerk offerings for the occasion.
