something special for their Beer Fest 

attendees: exclusive beer tastings and 

great food.

The main event featured more than 

40 breweries, offering close to 200 

domestic and international craft beers 

for sampling. Brewery representatives 

were available to discuss the different 

types of lagers and ales.
