The Tennessee Winter Beer Fest is returning for its 14th year: once again uniting beer enthusiasts for great fun and a worthwhile cause. This yearly event honors local craft breweries and raises money for New Hope Children’s Advocacy Center, an organization that aids children and families impacted by abuse. From good brews to delicious food and fun, you can expect a day full of good company and giving back.
According to a press release from the organizers of the Tennessee Winter Beer Festival, this year, the event will take place on Saturday, Feb. 21, from 3-8 p.m. at Company Distilling in Townsend.
Whatever the choice of drinking vessel, the TWBF guarantees an afternoon filled with not only local craft beer, but also great company and delicious food – all for a good cause.
The festival was founded by Maryville resident Mike Adams, who wanted to create a community-centered beer festival. After discussing the idea with friends, a board was formed, and chose New Hope Children’s Advocacy Center as the nonprofit beneficiary. All proceeds will support New Hope, an organization dedicated to helping abused or traumatized children and their families in Blount County.
