Great Taste of Madison 2026

Get to know Madison's robust and diverse craft beverage scene right down the road from the Great Taste of the Midwest festival grounds! Delta Beer Lab will be hosting guest beers from 16 Madison-area breweries, cideries, and distilleries representing a broad range of styles and flavors for the discerning craft beverage enthusiast. Meet representatives from the guest makers, learn more about their products, and buy a flight for a chance to win brewery swag!

Starting at 6pm, we'll have live music from Rhapsody & Rose! They are the acoustic duo of Kat Rhapsody and Benjamin Rose, two-thirds of award-winning Madison rock band Kat and the Hurricane. Playing stripped-down renditions of the band's songs, plus a mix of other original music and pop/rock covers, Rhapsody & Rose's harmonies tug at the heartstrings and lift spirits.

LT's Aloha Wagon will be on-site for the occasion, as well, selling Hawaiian-style cuisine from their iconic food truck.

Every year, Madison plays host to the Great Taste of the Midwest, drawing top breweries from the Midwest and craft beer lovers from around the country. We love our brewery friends from out of town, but we decided it was time to give our visitors a chance to really get to know the host city for this top-tier festival. Featuring some makers that won't be at the festival on Saturday, this pre-Great Taste event concentrates on the Great Taste of Madison that we're all so proud of. As the brewery closest to the Great Taste festival grounds, Delta Beer Lab is proud to be the perfect taproom to host our local friends for the night.
