Tickets for the 2008 Great Taste of the Midwest are sold out.

There are two ways to obtain tickets for the Great Taste of the Midwest: mail order or advance in person sales. Tickets are NOT sold at the gate. There are no phone orders, no credit card orders, and no internet sales. In order to keep this a high quality event, only 5000 tickets are sold.

In Person Ticket Sales

In person ticket sales for the August 9th, 2008, festival will be held at noon on Sunday, May 4th, 2008. A total of 3000 tickets will be sold at the following Madison locations:

• Star Liquor (600 Tickets)
• The Cork and Bottle (300 Tickets)
• The Wine and Hop Shop (400 Tickets)
• Steve's Liquor (400 Tickets at Steve's University, 500 Tickets at Steve's Mineral Point)
• J.T. Whitney's (400 Tickets)
• Capital Brewery (400 Tickets)

Wonder's Pub, a longtime ticket sales location, has been sold, and we will no longer be holding ticket sales there.

In person ticket sales sell out very quickly. If you aren't in line early, chances are good that you will not get a ticket. There is a limit of four tickets per person.

Mail Order Sales

2000 Tickets will be sold via mail order using a lottery. There is a limit of four tickets per household. If you do not live in Madison and would like to participate in the lottery, please send a self addressed stamped envelope and a check for the correct amount (payable to MHTG) to:

Envelopes must be postmarked on May 1st. Orders sent postmarks other than May 1st will be returned to you unfulfilled. Please allow 6-8 weeks for ticket processing, since we are a homebrewing club and not a professional order fulfillment company. We know you want your tickets, but please respect that we have our own family and work responsibilities too.
