The networking event will take place at Crust Brewing, which is approximately a 10-minute walk from the hotel and just 2 minutes from Big Ten Center. We’ve selected the menu below and worked to accommodate as many dietary preferences as possible within the available budget. Ingredient information will be listed on tags next to each item. - Food will be served buffet-style. - There will also be a cash bar (pay your own) where guests may purchase drinks individually. To make things easier, a dedicated front bar will be opened for our group, so we will not need to wait in line with other restaurant patrons.
