What Is The Brew Fest?
Top microbreweries from all over the country are invited to compete for various honors in the "Best Summer Ale Brew Fest 2011." We're very excited to continue expanding the European and Exotic beer sampling tent!

Friday features a professionally judged competition for participating brewers to showcase their seasonal summer brews while festival-goers savor the spirited results. The main events are the Seasonal Brews Sampling on Friday from 5:30-7:30pm and the Grand Beer Tasting on Saturday from 3:00-5:00pm, creating high energy as brews flow freely and popular headliners rock Pepper Hill.
