The folks at CRAZE do more than just brew and serve tasty beers. They support important causes in the process. This year, they chose to support W-SR Smart Money Teacher Grants.

The Waverly Oktoberfest Committee was proud to host The Cedar River Association of Zymurgy Enthusiasts (CRAZE), a Cedar Valley homebrew club, and the W-SR Community Schools Foundation at this year’s
