Atlantic Fire Chief Mark McNees, co-chair of the beer garden for RAGBRAI, reports Atlantic native Paul Kay, who owns and operates a brewery in Burlington, IA, will have two of their craft beers featured at the RAGBRAI beer garden in the Atlantic City Park, this Sunday. Paul Kay grew up in Atlantic and his family still farms north of town. His brewery’s Kolsh Fordy Five and Royal Jelly 6-4-3 Honey Wheat beers, will be available during the bicycling event, which will draw thousands of people from across the State, Country and the world. The brewery was established in the Fall of 2015. (To learn more visit http://www.parksidebrewing.com/index.html)

McNees said “As a committee we are thrilled to be able to feature beers with a local connection and encourage area residents to come down to the garden and sample them as they watch the riders enter town, or come down and enjoy some as they partake in the entertainment that evening featuring Freakabout and Hairball.”

The beer garden can be found near the City Park stage, Sunday. It will be open at 1-p.m. and close at 10:30-p.m. If you would like to volunteer to serve and process transactions at the beer garden, contact the Atlantic Chamber Office at 243-3017.
