Tap Into Good Beer and Fun at the
Fourth Annual BrewFest at Mount Hope
The BrewFest salutes microbreweries who have transformed their love of beer into a passionate business. The list of participating breweries includes many local PA favorites and breweries from the East and West coasts. The festival is separated into two sessions, each lasting four hours in length. The first session is scheduled from 11 A.M. to 3 P.M. and the second is from 4:30 P.M. to 8:30 P.M. Beer fans can sample and learn about a variety of beers ranging from lagers to pilsners, porters to stouts, fruit beers to wheat beers and everything in between.
The Food
No beer festival would be complete without food to be paired with brews. At the BrewFest, beer fans will enjoy a variety of foods, included in the price of admission. Visit any of the Faire’s eight all-you-can-eat food booths around the faire grounds, all offering a different selection of foods. Fill up on fan favorites like Pork Barbeque, Corndogs, Cheeseburgers and more! Free bottled water and soda are available at all food booths.
The Music
Live Americana, Folk and Rock music from six high-energy bands, all hailing from Central PA, will create a festive soundtrack to the BrewFest. Throughout the sessions there will be live performances from Colebrook Road, Darry Miller & the Veil, Mark DeRose and the Way Home, MiZ, They Were Only Satellites, and Toy Soldiers. There will be three stages of music with each band will performing a one-hour set during each session.
A Side of Fun
The Cause The BrewFest will be raising money for the Central PA Food Bank. Participating breweries and vendors as well as some local businesses have donated items that will be used in a raffle during the BrewFest. Patrons will have the option to purchase raffle tickets for the chance to win prizes that range from t-shirts to beer, to gift certificates with all proceeds going to the Food Bank. The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank distributes more than 22 million pounds of food and grocery products every year to more than 650 soup kitchens, shelters, and food pantries in 27 central Pennsylvania counties. These agencies directly feed thousands of hungry families throughout central Pennsylvania. The Details The deliciously entertaining BrewFest at Mount Hope takes place Saturday, May 12, 2012.
