2018 Nano Beer Fest Returns To John’s Marketplace
With its origins dating back to Max’s Fanno Creek nearly one decade ago, the 2018 Nano Beer Fest will make its return to John’s Marketplace for the second consecutive year. This year’s Nano Beer Fest will take place Friday, April 27 – Sunday, April 29.
This festival celebrates the small breweries that may get overlooked from time to time. The 2018 Nano Beer Fest will feature over 50 beers, ciders and meads all made by some of the most inventive and newest members of the local craft industry. Its focus is on nano breweries that can be hard to find around the region all brought together in one place.
Some of these brewers may have desires to grow and become larger but many are happy to be where they are, producing small batch beers to a smaller audience. For 2018, the alumni brewer, or in this case cider maker, is Cider Riot!. This cidery has grown from a garage to a full on production space and continues to make interesting and tasty cider.
