KillerBeerFest at Bailey's Taproom on Saturday

Each and every year during Killer Beer Week we look to our favorite downtown taproom to host our all out anniversary bash, KillerBeerFest. And for the sixth consecutive year, Brewpublic has paired up with our friends at Bailey’s Taproom on Saturday, October 25th, to rock the KillerBeerFest.

For twelve straight hours from Noon to Midnight, more than 20 taps of the kind of beers that beer tickers, geeks, and all around lovers of one-offs look for. Granted, it is getting harder and harder with each passing year with more and more events pushing into the craft brew landscape, but that is just a win for us all!

We have worked with brewers far and wide to put together the most superb taplist available on this fine day (and one of the best lineups of the entire year!). This is a day you definitely want to make your way on down to Bailey’s Taproom to partake in a party for all craft beer aficionados.

The very special draft list for Killer Beer Fest will include the following:

• Stone Brewing (Escondido, CA)- Passion Project Sour Ale
• Oakshire Brewing (Eugene, OR) – Hermanne 1882 (Pinot bbl aged Belgian w muller Thurgau grapes and Brettanomyces
