The exhibit opening was very eventful. Crowds came through and explored the new exhibit. Area brewpubs had samples of their beer available for tasting and explained the differences in tastes. To connect with German heritage of beer making, Herr Schmidt wandered through the crowed playing his "Stomach Steinway" (his accordion). We would like to thank him and Granite City and Sioux Falls Brewery along with the Siouxland Museums Alliance for participating in our exhibit.
