Last year the event hosted over 500 people and 11 different brewers. This area proves to be a sophisticated micro-brew drinking community, as the turnout is great year after year. People buy a ticket either beforehand or at the door, dress in jeans, jackets and boots and enjoy a fine evening of sampling beer, wine and food. So far, we have several brewers returning, a lead sponsor, Bankwell, and even have Jazzholes band playing for the night. See more details •
