For me it is hard to believe Infusion is only 4 years old. So many great beers produced in just 4 years. This should be a really fun event!
Come celebrate Infusion (Benson) turning 4 on Friday, October 6th with the tapping of 6 variations of our newest beer, Loose Morals Belgian Quad. This Quad was aged for 6 months in Templeton Rye barrels and it's a sweet, malty and full bodied brew that we added 90 lbs. of fresh raspberries.
Try all the varieties:
- Loose Morals with Brettanomyces
- Loose Morals with Brettanomyces and plums
- Loose Morals with Brettanomyces and blackberries
- Loose Morals with Roeselare
- Loose Morals with Roeselare and palm sugar
It's an anniversary party so we'll have FREE cake starting at 5 pm! Don't miss out on the fun!

...the managers of Jake’s & Krug Park noted the astronomical rise of interest in craft beer.
AMERICANS ARE DRINKING PALE ALES, STOUTS, CIDERS AND MORE. BUT, MANY BEER FESTIVALS SERVE THE SAME-OLD STALE LAGERS AND CRAFT-IMPOSTERS. SO, WE DECIDED TO STEP IN AND DO IT RIGHT. BENSON BEER FESTIVAL IS ALL ABOUT THE BEER. WITH A SHARP FOCUS ON QUALITY-MADE CRAFT AND IMPORT BEERS, WE’RE A BIT DIFFERENT. WE SELECT EACH BEER WITH CAREFUL ATTENTION. WE TRY HARD TO PROVIDE A WIDE-ARRAY OF BEERS AND CIDERS, LIGHT TO DARK, SWEET TO DRY AND EVERYTHING IN-BETWEEN. YOU’LL ALSO NOTICE A LARGE SECTION OF BENSON BEER FEST DEVOTED TO HOME-BREWERS. WORKING WITH LOCAL HOME-BREWER CLUBS, WE PRESENT A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO PRESENT THEIR CREATIONS TO THE PUBLIC.
“When you see this amazing work of art, you know you are getting close!”
