The 15th Annual Brew-Ski Fest returns to the Salisbury Ski Jumps Sunday, October 13th with music, pumpkins, cornstalks and nearly 40 craft breweries offering visitors well over 200 examples of their best brews. The popular event is part of Salisbury's Fall Festival Weekend.
Stateline Wine and Spirits which organizes Brew-Ski Fest to benefit Salisbury Winter Sports Association (SWSA), boasts an exciting lineup of popular beers including Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada, Surfside, and Boston Beer as well as local favorites Great Falls Brewery and Norbrook, and more. There will also be canned cocktails including High Noon and Long Drink, and hard cider brands including Stormalong and Downeast.
The folks from Sunday in the Country Food Drive will be offering brats, burgers and dogs for sale to benefit their food program.
The Steve Dunn Band will provide live music.
For the past 14 years, the popular event has been delighting beer aficionados with its rich diverse beer offerings in a fun intimate setting.
Unlike the big beer -tasting events where you stand in line seemingly forever to get a taste, at Brew-Ski you walk right up, ask for a beverage and chat with knowledgeable folks from breweries around the country.
Tickets for Brew-Ski Fest are $30 per person in advance and $35 at the door. Advance tickets are available online at jumpfest.org and at Stateline Wine and Spirits in Canaan, 860 824-7295.
Proceeds from the event, which will be held rain or shine, will benefit SWSA's youth skiing programs.
And don't forget the hugely popular Golf Ball Roll! Buy a numbered golf ball and watch as hundreds of them cascade down the ski jump landing hill- the ball that travels furthest wins the prize.
And remember to take a pumpkin with you when you leave!
