BrewersFest

BrewersFest is a unique, one-of-a-kind homebrewing event where beer enthusiasts gather at Cooper's Lake to brew, sample and compete for votes to win an array of valuable prizes including the Taster's Choice Covenant Cup Award.

BrewersFest has grown from 10 brewers to almost 80 in 2015 that shared over 160 unique beers with the community and amongst themselves. BrewersFest is an event where both brewers and "tasters" unite to gain knowledge of, sample and converse about brewing. Patrons can observe and learn about the brewing process while sampling a wide variety of beers from homebrewers at their leisure throughout the day. Patrons are encouraged to vote for their favorite beer.

Patrons can compete in baggo and keg tossing competitions and purchase fresh made food from Pat's Catering. In addition, local breweries and vendors will offer their unique wares and libations during the event. A Chinese auction benefiting the Food & Fellowship for the People of Portersville will be held. Following the brew day all are welcome to camp, enjoy the BIG bon-fire and relax for no additional charge.

Brewers and an apprentice are invited to join the event and camp both Friday and Saturday night with no charge providing they brew on Saturday. Brewers must preregister prior to the event for free entry - no exceptions. Please refer to the Brewer Rules & Regulations below.

Patrons are welcome to enjoy the many homebrew samples from 10-8 and camp on Saturday. Gate fees apply. Friday night camping is available at an additional cost. Patrons must be 21 to receive samples and to cast a vote. Anyone under 21 are welcome to enjoy the event but will not be permitted to sample.
