Guests can sample more than 300 craft beers, wines, and liquors along with food from more than 20 restaurants and food trucks.

All proceeds from the event will go to SWIRCA & More, a nonprofit that works to help seniors and those living with disabilities remain living at their homes for as long as possible, while keeping them independent and active in the community. “When people come out and support Brewfest, they support SWIRCA, but they’re also helping us to provide nearly 2,000 meals to seniors. They’re helping us build ramps for individuals and get essential needs and services to homebound seniors,” says Monica
