RAGBRAI ?!? (Read 3203 times)

Sweet corn and field corn are different animals.  People who planted short-day variety sweet corn are already getting some in Indiana...I got mine in very late and it's at least tassling now.  Field corn is nowhere close to cobs.  So don't give up yet.

My wife is Korean descent so we eat edamame all the time.  Good stuff with a little salt; still too early to pick though.

Had fresh sweet corn yesterday although were probably 1 - 2 weeks out from the commercial growers having it ready.

For all participants, the bar guide is out.  While many of the beers on here may not be "good" beers, it is meant to be a listing of places that are serving beer other than Bud, Miller, and Coors.  We called every bar listed in all the towns across this years route.  Some of the bars were a little unsure of their line up at the time of the call.  More and more, the bars are starting to stock cans of Fat Tire and Blue Moon.  These go VERY quickly.  Talking to the owners, they are always surprised how fast they sell.  They get talked into buying them by a beer rep, then order a small amount, worried they are going to get stuck with it.

That's disapointing I plan on only drinking craft beers. If you follow Peace Tree on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/peacetreebrewing

you may be able to track down the best beer in the Midwest.

Enjoy!  Started this morning.  Enjoy Iowa.  I hope you all have a wonderful week, and that the weather cooperates.

Drats! I missed this before heading to IA....alas, I did not ride RAGBRAI...worked a charter supporting nearly 1,000 riders....HOT & STEAMY most of the week! random light breezes. Decent beer in spots...our kegs kept a good IPA & a wheat option...

Hope everyone else had a great time as well!! 

Sounds like Porkbelly.

Had an awesome time. Hot as hell !

Ran into Wrigly Girl several times. Always in a beer tent.

Anyone else in?

Someday...my MIL lives in IA and has been trying to talk us into it (she's done it the past 2 years).  But that would mean a week of spending too much time with my MIL, which is a major roadblock.  That and I'm not sure the rugrat could do it, yet.  He just turned 11.  Perhaps in 2-3 years he'll be up for it.
