Episode 64: Chester County Homebrew Fest

Episode 64: Chester County Homebrew Fest

Chester County Homebrew Fest 5
at The American Helicopter Museum

We set up shop in view of various choppers for the Fifth Annual Chester County Homebrew Fest, held to raise money for the local Elk’s Lodge. Event organizers Ken Delise, Troy Vogt, and Owen Winkler helped us kick off the show and chat about the event and its origins. Event sponsors and friends of the podcast, the crew of Levante Brewing Company also sat in and shared some of the awesome brews they were pouring. Then, we ran down the line of homebrewers and sampled a wide array of offerings all vying for Judges’ and People’s Choice Awards. We had an awesome time, seranaded by the tunes of Subterranean Groove Theory and filled by the eats by Cornucopia Catering.
