As the longest running annual tailgate in Miller Park history, BBFE would not have made it had it not been for the contributions and hard work of a number of individuals that help make this event possible. The BBFE Hall of Fame recognizes the work and efforts of some of the elite who went above and beyond to make this not just a regular tailgate event, but an extravaganza.

CALEBWhat is a tailgate party without beer? Caleb has been filling our cups for years by bringing the beer for BBFE. He has also not missed a BBFE since year two, making him an elite member of BBFE. Caleb also started and ran the ABPA (the Appleton Beer Pong Association) which was a brother league of the CHBPL. Caleb remains the Appleton BBFE area board member and continues on the BBFE event crew. He also plays security guard for Brodey.
TROGEWonder who coined the Brodey Brewers Funday Extravaganza event name? Well, look no further than Troge. Trog nicknamed the event and it stuck. One of the original members of BBFE, Trog serves as our New York BBFE board member. While Troge has not attended every BBFE, he makes every effort to catch that plane from New York and come back for a few brats, a brew and a ballgame. He was also in a play in high school with Brodey.
