More than 50 of the finest craft beers in the nation will be available for sampling at the 2nd Annual WMGK Brew Blast, Saturday September 22, aboard the tented deck of one of the nation’s most revered Battleships. The event will take place from 1 to 5pm. All of the WMGK DJs will be in attendance throughout the day and the newly crowned WMGK House Band, will play live. Last year’s event was a huge success, WMGK is expecting an even bigger turnout this year.

I really want to Try carton and Kane. I am a njcb member.
I’d like to try Yards Cape of Good Hope. I’m not a member
If I were to attend I would look forward to trying Brooklyn Brewery’s Sorachi Ace and any other beers they bring. I have never really had an interest in the brewery, but then I heard an interview with Garrett Oliver and I have completely changed my mind. He gave such a thoughtful interview that I can’t wait to try his beer the next chance I get, perhaps at this event.
Along with the Sarachi Ace, I’m interested in Riverhorse’s Rye IPA. I am a big fan of Riverhorse in general and recently I have been trying all the Rye IPAs I can get my hands on, but I haven’t seen this in my local liquor store.

1) What beer you want to try – Anything that Firestone Walker brings, and Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold, since I’ve never had that.
2) If you are an NJCB Member (as you’ll have to chances to win) – Not yet, but more places relevant to me are joining the fold, so I will be next year.
I am looking forward to trying all the fall beers, but especially the Newcastle Werewolf – I have not seen that one yet.
