"This year's lineup is our most diverse yet."
According to event organizers, this year's 25th year festivities will include a People's Choice Award for best decorated beer booth; best creative costume in individual, couple, and group categories.
The Mammoth Festival of Beers boasts two days of craft beer tastings, both Saturday (12pm-5pm) and Sunday (12pm-4pm), showcasing 80+ breweries pouring over 200 distinctive beers, ciders, seltzers, meads, and hard kombuchas.
