BrewNost
BrewNost is back in person and better than ever to kick off our NCSML Building Dedication 25th Anniversary Celebration on September 17, 2021! Thank you to our presenting sponsors Basepoint Wealth, LLC and GreatAmerica Financial Services for their support of BrewNost.
BrewNost is the Midwest’s premier international beer festival that supports the educational and cultural mission of the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library. Join us for an outdoor event featuring unlimited food and beverage from some of the area’s finest restaurants, local breweries and distilleries, along with international beers, wine, and spirits. The evening will be filled with live music, a silent and a live auction, and the drawing of a new BrewNost raffle prize — a trip to Slovakia! Raffle tickets are now on sale!
