4th Ever CT River Valley Not-So-Snooty Beer, Wine, and Cheese Tasting Adventure
11 September 2008 – 12:35 pm
Beer and charity…perfect together!
Fellow Nutmeg State resident Bryon over at 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!
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!
