MOLINE, ILLNIOIS - For the first time in 10 years holding Brew Ha Ha at LeClaire Park, raindrops fell, but that didn't stop just under 1800 people from sampling beers and cheeses on Saturday, September 18, 2010 at the 11th Annual WQPT Brew Ha Ha.
At the end of the event all of the votes were tallied and the top three brews were named. All of the winners were decided on by the attendees.
