We have chosen breweries that exemplify quality choices in ingredients, brewing methods, use of organics and sustainable operations within the process or as a result of it. Many of our breweries support all of these options, utilizing organic ingredients, sustainable brewing practices and contributing support of other post-brewing process operations such as water purification, post-brewing composting of grains, CO2 recovery and more.<\/p>\n<p><em>Enjoyment of Beer at the event includes 3 options:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Retail sales of Beer &amp; Food<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Purchase and enjoy selections of beer in the public areas of the festival, along with Food Vending options, Free Music and information booths hosted by our affiliates and sponsors.
