Come to the soundstage for tunes from Minus Six (Rated Best Band in the Quad Cities area by QC Magazine-2006) who return this year due to numerous requests from 2008 Brew Ha Ha participants! Check out the release of their third album, Hidden Deep In The Green on their MySpace page.

"This guitarless rock band may seem strange at first, but the piano, bass, drums, and sax group, have proven they can derive an impressive rock sound despite not having a guitar, thus leading to the band's name Minus Six."

Performance times:
1:00-2:30pm & 3:30-5:00pm

Penguin's Comedy Club (located in the Freight House building in Downtown Davenport) brings us another fun comedian to this year's event. Dwayne Clark. He's a guitar player with no song parodies, sing-a-longs, or Dylan impressions. He's high-energy without playing the 'What's your name - where are you from" game with his audience.

Check out more than 200 beers, great cheeses, and enjoy live entertainment. Held in historic LeClaire Park in Downtown Davenport, Iowa along the western bank of the Mississippi River, Brew Ha Ha continues its tradition of being ranked as one of the Top Events in the Quad City area, (recognized by QC Magazine). This year marks the 10th anniversary of the popular event.

Musical performances by Minus Six will take place at 1:00 and 3:30 p.m. Minus Six is sponsored by Midwest Originals Booking. Plus, Penguins Comedy Club will present Dwayne Clark at 2:30 p.m. to provide the "ha ha" in Brew Ha Ha. The always popular Sports Corner will feature big screen televisions to catch Saturday's sports action.

WQPT is celebrating Brew Ha Ha's 10th year. The first year the event was held in downtown Moline on a cold and blustery Saturday in May. In spite of the cool temperatures many die-hard beer aficionados braved the day to sample brews and support WQPT.

The following year we changed both the date and location of the event, to the month September on the banks of the Mississippi at LeClaire Park in Davenport where the event continues to be one of the Quad Cities premiere events.

Brew Ha Ha continues to be a vital part of WQPT's fund-raising efforts. Proceeds from the event benefit viewers like you with quality programs and our Outreach activities for children. WQPT touches the lives of thousands in our region. Learn more about our history and impact on the communities we serve.
