A HUGE Thank you to CTbeertrail.net, Bryon Turner and all of you who came out to support the First Annual Rising Pint Brewfest and the Arthritis Foundation. It was a spectacular day and we cannot wait to do it again next year! We are already making plans for next year to be bigger and better. The Beer Gods certainly smiled on us and helped out with the weather as we ended up with a perfect day! It was great getting a chance to meet some of you too that have been posting and emailing in. Thanks again! Cheers - Heather

There will be plenty of free parking and signage directing you all where to go as well. Don't forget to buy your tickets in advance as they will be $10 more at the door. Thanks again for all of your support and I look forward to seeing you there on Saturday. Also, come and check out the Connecticut Beer Trail Table and stop by to visit Bryon Turner! Cheers - Heather
