Brüegala is a festival of international beer, boasting more than 200 brews from near and far. Each year, the festival draws larger and larger crowds of cheerful beer lovers from across the Midwest. This event, held by the Bloomington-Normal Jaycees, celebrated its 12th anniversary.

Every attendee received a souvenir tasting glass, along with access to great beers, wine, live music and event merchandise. Food was provided by on-site vendors from Rosati’s Authentic Chicago Pizza (Normal), King Biscuit BBQ and other local eateries.

We wouldn’t be able to have this event without our volunteers that pour beer every year.  This year there were three shifts each day.  In return for the donation of time, each volunteer received free entry to the event as well as a free tasting glass.  Want more info?  Email bruegala@gmail.com
