Brewing Up an Evening of Beer for A Good Cause

Image by mirkoshanghai via FlickrThe second annual Brewing Up a Cure is this Saturday nigth, October 18, 2008 at Mr. Smalls Funhouse in Millvale. This excellent event, I attend last years event – it was excellent, is hosted by TRUB. TRUB stands for Three Rivers Underground Brewers – one of Pittsburgh’s home brew clubs.

Brewing Up a Cure is great because it is a beer festival of home brewed beers – none of that fancy commercial stuff, well their might be a little of that but mostly home made beer.

Tickets are just $30 and you can find more info about the beers and the events at BrewingUpACure.org. Brewing up a cure is raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I bet you will see the best beer podcasters in town their too. I know that Father Spoon and Sick Puppy, from Should I drink that are big fans of this event. Continue reading →

2nd Annual Millvale Brew Festival

I am always happy to write about events that become annual events. I wrote about and attended this festival last summer. The good folks in Millvale are back with their 2nd Annual Brew Festival. 3 hours of beer tasting. This festival is great because you get to hang out at the Millvale riverfront park – which is located right along the river – which is a great place to spend some time on a Saturday in August.

The Brew Festival is a fundraiser for the Millvale Borough Development Corporation and Millvale MainStreets Program and supports the continued revitalization of Millvale since the flooding in 2004.

The awesome poster for this years event was created by Tom Walker who is a Millvale resident, a graphic designer at Mullen and well known for kayaking to work. Click on the poster to see the full size version.
