6th Annual Summer Brewfest to be Held at Indian Ranch
Wednesday, July 31, 2013
While Indian Ranch is known for offering music lovers a chance to see some of the nation's best country, classic rock and pop bands in an intimate setting on the shore of Webster Lake each summer on one day music takes a back seat to beer. On Saturday, August 3 from 2:00-6:00 pm, over 100 different beers and malt beverages will be served at the Sixth Annual Summer Brewfest at Indian Ranch.
Beer aficionados and novices alike will have the opportunity to sample local, regional and international micro-brews, craft beers and malt beverages while enjoying delicious food, listening to live music, and taking part in plenty of fun and games on the beach.
Local Community Brews
This year's Summer Brewfest will introduce three new Massachusetts breweries including Bay State Beer Company from Leicester, Battle Road Brewing Company from Ipswich and Webster's own Kretschmann Brewing Company. Worcester's Wormtown Brewing will also return to the festival joining other Massachusetts Breweries including Wachusett Brewing Company, Notch Brewery, Blue Hills Brewing Company as well as Harpoon and Samuel Adams.
The other New England states will also be well represented at Summer Brewfest. Olde Burneside Brewing of Connecticut, Long Trail Brewing, Travelers Beer Co. and Magic Hat out of Vermont, Shipyard Brewing Company and Sea Dog Brewing Company of Maine, Red Hook of New Hampshire and Narragansett Brewing Company in Rhode Island are all returning to the festival.
"Indian Ranch has a strong commitment to our community," says Kerri Cunningham of Indian Ranch.
"We are particularly proud to introduce and showcase local and regional beers and malt beverages. Conversely, Brewfest also gives local craft independent brewers and larger beer companies the opportunity to directly speak with their customers and get some direct feedback from their target audiences."
In addition, beer lovers can try samples from all corners of the country from Chicago's Goose Island Brewing Company and Hawaii's Kona Brewing Company to Widmer Brothers Brewing of Oregon, Ithaca Beer Company of New York, Shock Top, an Anheuser Busch product, Sierra Nevada from California, Boulevard Brewing Company out of Kansas City, Blue Moon Brewing of Colorado, and Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company of Wisconsin. Malt beverages Woodchuck Hard Cider and Angry Orchard Hard Cider will also be part of this year's event.
More than Just Beer
Providing culinary accompaniment will be Webster's Bistro Eighty Ate's and Sturbridge's BT's Smokehouse. Friendly Liquors will be offering a wide selection of fine cigars. Overdrive, one of Central Massachusetts premiere cover bands, will provide the musical backdrop to Brewfest. Games will dot the beachfront providing the perfect day on the Lake.
Also keep in mind Indian Ranch's famous Summer Concert Series is still in full swing and check out their schedule for other fun events as well.
"Over the years we have expanded the types of music we bring to Indian Ranch and we now present not only great country music but also great classic rock acts, roots rock, pop and more. Indian Ranch is not just a concert venue – it is perfect for events of all types like Brewfest as well as other special events," reminds Cunningham.
