The Brewpublican Ruling Council decrees 2017 to be the year of Matt. Back in 2011 BREWPUBLIC’s Angelo De Ieso decided there were a significant number of brewers named Ben, so Ben Fest was created. Since then, other cohorts of similarly named craft beer personnel have had their own special days: Sean Fest, Mike Fest, Chuck Fest, Chris Fest and Dave Fest among them. This year it’s the Matts’ turn: Look for beers and appearances from brewers named Matt from Alesong, Double Mountain, Hopworks Urban Brewery, Pint’s, Rogue and more!
