And if the rye beer, rye cocktails and rye themed food is not enough, there will also be music for all to enjoy. Downstairs in the Tap Room will be DJ Rhienna spinning music beginning at 9:00pm. Upstairs the music starts at 10:00pm with Buddy Jay’s Jamaican Jazz Band.

This year’s charity is Dawn to Dusk. They are an endurance paddling event where paddlers do laps for 12 hours around Ross Island in downtown Portland to raise money for the Children’s Cancer Association. Last year Bridge City Paddling Club raised more than $43,000 for this great organization. Bridge City Paddling Club is a non-profit organization, dedicated to both community service and competition.

With 22 Rye Beers, no entry fee and live music this festival will have something for everyone. To keep up with the latest news regarding the Rye Beer Fest check out www.ryebeerfest.com.
