Well it's all over, and the results are in! I'd like to thank all 187 of you for coming out - and a special thanks for everyone who helped pull this off by contributing raffle items, food, drink, and their time to this event.

With your help, we raised $7,321 for PLEA's respite care program - more than DOUBLE what we did last year! This means that lots more families of special needs kids will get services this year.

Now, if you missed the event and still would like to help with a donation, you can do that directly right here - anything you contribute will flow right through to PLEA.

So, if you had something you liked on Saturday, but couldn't keep track of where you got it (or if you'd just like to support a business that supports a good cause), here's the full list of contributors:

Our Guest Brewers:

• Bill Kroft of Marzoni's for the Wheat Wine and Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout
• Tom Baker of the new "Earth Bread and Brewery" for his Sour Cinderbock from the old Heavyweight Brewing Co.
• Keith Kost, homebrewer for pouring his Roggenbier, Belgian Pale Ale, Hoppy Rye Amber, Dark Mild, and Cherry Dubbel.
