HomeBrewBeer.net brought my attention to a great beer-related charity event going on in November. The 4th Ever CT River Valley Not-So-Snooty Beer, Wine, and Cheese Tasting Adventure will take place on November 21, 2008 at The New England Air Museum in Windsor Locks, CT. If you are local, I strongly urge you to attend. You might even get a chance to meet me!
Fellow Nutmeg State resident Bryon over at The event will feature locally produced beer, wine, and cheese, as well as hors d’oeuvres, raffles, coffee, and dessert. Tickets are $45 ($35 for members of the military), and all proceeds will benefit The Hole in the Wall Gang. The Gang runs a camp in CT for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases, and is certainly a worthy cause.
So far, the participating brewery/brewpub list includes:
- Boston Beer Company
- Olde Burnside Brewery
- City Steam Brewery Cafe
- The Cambridge House
- Sherwood Forest Brewers
- John Harvard’s Brew House
- Thomas Hooker Brewery
If you are a affiliated with a CT brewpub/brewery and are not on that list, give Bryon a shout and get on the list.
Thanks for the plug Jim! I’m working closely with a major CT craft beer distributor to add more breweries to the list, so stay tuned!
Jim,
Just in case you missed my response comment on my site, there’s a brew fest tomorrow night in Hartford… Let me know if you want details…
Oh, by the way, the ticket price went up a bit… Not my call, but jsut want accurate info out there… Thanks!

Bryon – thanks for the heads up on the price change – I’ve changed the post to reflect the new info.
