Fest of Ales at Cheapside Pavillion

The Fest of Ales is back for its seventh year and will be held, as always, on the Friday of Labor Day weekend. Over 60 breweries will be on hand, from domestic darlings, such as Bells and Schlafly, and international institutions, such as Chimay and Unibroue, to local varieties, like Country Boy and West Sixth. Tickets, which are limited to 1500, will go on sale August 1, and are expected to go quickly. They can be purchased at local Liquor Barn locations, Pazzo’s, the Beer Trappe and Central Bank Thursday Night Live, as well as by phone at (859) 425-2593.
