Craft beer festival highlighting Western Mass. breweries as well as imports via the Shelton Brothers.

This website is dedicated to spreading the word about a small homebrew-only cask event that will be held on Saturday, 30 April 2016 from 4:PM to 8:PM. In addition to enjoying homebrewed cask ale, this year our festival will be coinciding with a pig roast at the venue! The $35 cover gets you some swine, a commemorative glass, access to the venue (complete with sweet, unobstructed views of the north-facing Boston skyline), and the beer!

There’s a strict limit of 70 people on the guest list so buy early and tell your friends! To prevent gatecrashers, the specifics of the East Boston venue are being withheld. The venue is at the top of three rather steep flights of stairs. There is no elevator. Pig will be on the first floor so you’ll be making the trip up and down a few times. Regrettably there is no handicap access.

We remain completely unaffiliated with (but unabashedly inspired by) the folks who put together the NERAX festival. If you like what they do, you will probably like what we’re going for.
