Come out to support your favorite Essex County beer or brewery! Purchase tickets today and be ready for a family friendly competition – bracket style. Enjoy an afternoon of live music and food while casting your vote and giving back to a great cause in your local community! It will be hosted at The Hotel Salem, on March 29, 2020 from 12 pm -4:30 pm.

Eight of Essex County’s best breweries will bring one beer to compete and need YOUR help to move up and win the Essex Bracket! The community votes for their favorite beer or brewery; the more votes a brewery has, the better chance for their survival. There will be a preliminary blind tasting first round for all participants before the bracket rounds begin. There will be three judges for this event; two “celebrity” judges, (blind tastings all rounds of the event), with the third judge being you, the ticket holders.
