SouthYeast Brewfest Recap
Once again, Brewfest was a big hit! Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the good music and great craft beers. It is always a pleasure to host community events like this and see people connect over a good brew. A huge thank you to our live band Generation Country for performing great tunes and keeping the event high-spirited! Generation Country is local to Acadia, and we are so lucky to have them come out to play for us. Finally, a special thank you to all of our participating breweries: SunnyCider, New Level Brewing, Banded Peak Brewing, Stonyslope Brewing Company, and Fahr Brewery. These breweries really live and breathe the community spirit, and we cannot thank them enough for working with us to bring this event together!
