Annapolis Craft Beer & Music Festival next weekend

Be there for the 3rd Annual Annapolis Craft Beer & Music Festival slated for next Saturday, September 13, 2014,  at The Navy-Marine Corps Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland.  The festival hours are Saturday, 12:00 noon to 6:00 pm.

Beer Fest 250x350The Annapolis Craft Beer and Music Festival — the only craft beer festival of its size in and around historic Annapolis with over 40 breweries represented pouring over 150 craft beers — combines  award-winning artisan beer tastings from regional and national artisan breweries along with music of all varieties on The Pilsner Stage.  Attendees have the opportunity to shop for gifts from dozens of arts, crafts, and specialty food exhibitors and purchase oysters on the half shell plus other delicious Maryland cuisine in the food concessions court.

According to Jim Barthold, of City Dock Productions:  “In just a few short years, craft beer has developed a tremendous following among men and women of all ages. There are literally hundreds of craft beers being brewed today, each with its own distinctive characteristics. Tasting and comparing brews has become an activity of the beer enthusiast. Ours is a festival whose time has come:  there is no other event like it in Annapolis as others limit the patron to a few tickets to sample beer.  We provide  unlimited tastings, and with 150 beers to taste in six hours, that’s a lot of unique tastes.  And, Mr. Barthold explains, “The Annapolis Craft Beer and Music Festival combines the rare experience of sampling craft beers while listening to local popular bands … selecting from a menu of food items from our private caterer and shopping among arts and crafts exhibitors.  All here is an exciting waterfront town.”
