Front Street Brewfest at Front Street Shelter

The dog days of summer are very nearly upon us, and that means it’s time to start pouring some cold drinks without paws—pause, get it? There’s no better place to wet your snout than at the Front Street Brewfest. It’s got all the amenities you expect from a brewfest, including the best local brewers, local food trucks and musicians fur your entertainment. What puts it over the edge as a brewfest, though, is the animals—proceeds from the festival benefit the Friends of Front Street Animal Shelter, meaning your consumption of beer does good things. Show up and get your unlimited tastings of beer, and if you go VIP, you can taste the New Helvetia/Front Street collab beer. 2127 Front Street, frontstreetbrewfest.com.
