Kick off your summer by savoring some of the best local and regional craft beers at the annual Lager ‘Lympics, presented by the members of Metro North Rotary (MNR).

This outdoor beer tasting event takes place in the heart of Cedar Rapids’ trendy and bustling NewBo district. With 4 hours to sip on a variety of craft beers poured directly from the brewers, enjoy your favorites while discovering new and seasonal brews. Featuring DJ Commando, pretzels, a 5 oz. souvenir mug and jumbo yard games add to the fun.  Plus, where there is beer, there must be food. Select NewBo City Market food merchants will have local fare available for purchase.
