Fermentation Fest Featuring Local Brewers & Baker!

We're hosting a Fermentation Fest on August 26th

Come and taste innovative locally crafted fermented brews, savor fermented appetizers, listen to live music, bid on silent auction items, and have fun!

 


Local brewers are busy fermenting brews like mead, gruit, tepache, sodas, kombucha, and ale for you to enjoy. Plus most of the food will be fermented too! Enjoy your brews while you bid on awesome silent auction items and jam to some live music. Our very own, Ellyn Schmitz, Bioregional Herbalism instructor, will be giving a brief fermentation presentation with samples to try.

 


Thank you to Emily Slayton, owner of Skeleton Key Brewery, who was the main organizer of this event with the help of Susan Urasky and who is generously hosting. Skeleton Key is also donating fermented brews along with Oaken Shell Meadery, Werk Force Brewing Co., and Scratch Brewing Company. Fermented foods are provided by Pain de Chicago and music by JD Kostyk.
