On Saturday September 11 the masses gathered for the first ever Beer Festival hosted by City Weekly. The turn out was much higher than expected. The event sold out and lead to longer than anticipated beer lines. Some attendees became discouraged and left, but for the true beer lovers the delicious array of 40 different beers from local brewers made it worth the wait in the long lines. The event also featured live music and food from vendors like Sage's and The Pie.
