52 Weeks of Beer: Weekend Beer Festivals October 28-30

Beer festivals are one of the most fun events you can attend as an adult.  While beer is most definitely a staple at one of these events you might also hear live music, eat great street food and partake in some highly entertaining people watching.  If this sounds like your “mug of beer,” check out a few of this weekend’s beer festivals.
