The Skinny:  Let me paint a picture for you.  It's the start of fall in Southern New England.  The hot days of summer are locked in an evenly matched tug-of-war with the cool days of fall.  The leaves are on the cusp of changing.  Baseball season is winding down just as football season is heating up. 

You, a craft beer lover are going back in forth between your last summer ales, your pumpkin spiced beers and those delicious and rich oktoberfest brews.  Do you have a nostalgia induced smile on your face yet?  I hope so.

 

On Saturday, September 22nd, the Harbor Brew Fest is going to bring all of these feelings together.

The stage will be set at the beautiful Ball Park at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport.  On tap will be an amazing array of international, domestic and local beers.  The breweries that have already been lined up are (Connecticut Breweries in Bold):
