This year we are changing it up a bit on the educational side of things! We have swapped out the 4 hour long live brewing demo in favor of three exclusive releases and banter with those brewers. There will be some discussion on how each brew was made while you get to sample it! We'll also be handing out some vendor swag to attendees during these sessions!

The great thing is you can check these out inside the serving area and each release is scheduled to be at the top of each hour and last no more than 15 minutes. It's a great opportunity to get an under-the-hood view of the brewing process while trying amazing brews that are exclusive to that presentation! The schedule for next Saturday is:

2pm: Alan Wells
Serving: Berliner Weisse
Topic: Style information and the kettle sour process

3pm: Wes Kulcak
Serving: Wood-aged Doppelbock
Topic: Style information and the wood-aging process

4pm: Brian Biggs
Serving: Oaked Blueberry Mead
Topic: Style information and the mead-making process

Make sure to check this out at the Boot Brew Fest next Saturday, April 11th!
