One of the highlights of the week is the Brewermasters’ Brunch on Saturday starting at 11 am. This year it’s being held at Swans Brewpub. Food with beer, beer with food. Saturday also sees All About The Wood – a tasting of rare barrel-aged beers and the ever-popular Brewery Crawl. Jump on a limo bus and visit four local breweries. Also on Saturday is Fishing For Beer, a grazing event with eleven brewers and a crab boil.Depending on what your interest is you’ll find an event that works for you. If you’re a home brewer, there’s a workshop you can sign-up for. Love pizza and beer? They’ve got it covered. You’ll also find tacos, artisan cheese, a beer quiz, a cooking with beer demo and more.Finally, on the last day, Saturday, March 11 the festival winds down with it’s big event held outdoors at Centennial Square.
