Benson Beer Fest, Sat. June 3rd

What could be better than a summer beer fest in one of the top 10 neighborhoods in the United States? I can't think of anything so join me on June 3rd for some great brews and stories in one of my favorite places to hangout!   What are you waiting for - get your tickets now.  Cheers!

From bensonbeerfest.com

...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!
