Some updated info. Please spread the word. As always, we're looking for volunteers as well as attendees. Thanks!
The Midwest Brewers Fest is a true craft beer festival where you will find over 120 unique beers meads and ciders. Representatives from a number of breweries will be on site for you to directly interact and ask questions about your favorite brews.
The 2012 Midwest Brewers Fest has two purposes. The first is to raise funds and awareness for the restoration of the Plainfield Riverfront Park. The Riverfront Foundation plans are focused on a total restoration aimed at bringing people together (
http://www.plainfieldriverfront.com/) so that generations to come can enjoy the scenic views and recreational amenities the park once held. The second is to introduce those not familiar to the art and craft of fine beer. The idea was originated by local craft beer enthusiasts and is now being produced by volunteers from all walks of life who share a passion for great beer and a spirit of community.
We’re going to have an amazing lineup of craft beers. We expect to draw over 3,000 people and have 55+ breweries registered.
