The Fest of Ale will feature over 250 craft and import beers from more than 100 breweries. There will be a “House of Hops” for lovers of hoppy beers, and a “Sour Shack” area, where participants can sample wild ales that are rarely available. There will even be participation by wineries, for devotees of the vine rather than hops.
The Fest of Ale had been located at St. Anthony’s Padua Catholic Church, but the popularity of the event necessitated a larger venue. The New Albany Riverfront Amphitheater, which affords better parking, and is within walking distance of shops, restaurants and bars.
