7th Annual Fest of Ale, June 2nd

Thanks go out to Robin for letting me post about our upcoming beer festival

The 7th annual Fest rolls around on Saturday, June 2, from 3-7 p.m. For the fourth year, it’s on tap for St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, 320 N. Sherwood Ave., Clarksville, Ind.

More than 40 breweries and four craft brew distributors will serve samples of more than 150 craft and import beers, and six fine wine distributors will serve wine samples. The St. Anthony’s Men’s Club will cook up hamburgers, hot dogs, brats and the like.

The Fest of Ale is a fundraiser for the WHAS Crusade for Children. Last year the event raised more than $7200.

Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 on the day of the event. They’re available now at Keg Liquors, 617 E. Lewis & Clark Pkwy., Clarksville; or their New Albany location at 302 Pearl St, New Albany; or online at http://www.kegliquors.com/fest_of_ale.html.

Just a reminder that the Fest of Ale is this coming Saturday from 3 - 7 PM. I've uploaded the first draft of the program this morning. We've got a heck of a lineup planned for this weekend. Tons of great beer and wine, and what is shaping up to be one of the best weather weekends we've ever seen for the event.

Can't believe the best beer fest of the region is already here.

I concur.

The weather is supposed to be beautiful, mid-70's. Please join us for a good cause and a few great beers.

There is also a pre-party event planned at Buckhead Grill in Jeffersonville featuring John Host from Founders Brewing tonight Friday, June 1st, starting at 6pm.

The Founders Tap Takeover will feature five unique Founders Brews:
Reds Rye
Double Trouble
Cerise
Porter
Old Curmudgeon Better Half (Tapping at 7:00)

I will be there from 6 - 8 selling tickets to the Fest as well.

While you've got this guy cornered...please ask him if there are any plans to increase the distribution of their "All Day IPA" (an outstanding product currently available in only three states).

I ask him that every time I see him.... and will do so again tonight.

I am very happy and proud to report that we raised $9150 for the Crusade with the Fest of Ale yesterday. After 7 years, we finally got the weather I expected for a beer festival the first week of June and we brought out a record crowd of just over 1100 people.

Thank you to everyone who came out to work/volunteer for the event, or just came out and spent your hard earned money for a great cause. Without the help of our local breweries like New Albanian, Against the Grain, both BBC's, as well as all the regional and national breweries that come to the Fest, we'd never have an event like this. Save the date for June 1st, 2013.
