The inaugural NKY Bier & Music Fest, sponsored by meetNKY, is coming to Fort Mitchell this Saturday, August 16, bringing more than 20 local breweries, live bands, and food trucks together to support the DCCH Center for Children and Families and the Kentucky Guild of Brewers.
It will be a celebration of great beer, great music, and giving back to the community. Would you like to talk with a festival spokesperson or brewer about what’s on tap and how it will make a difference for local kids and families?
This festival, featuring local craft beer, live music and food vendors, is a celebration of community. Get tickets here.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit DCCH Center for Children and Families, a nonprofit that provides services in Northern Kentucky to address the physical, spiritual and emotional needs of children and families. The Kentucky Guild of Brewers, an organization dedicated to promoting Kentucky’s craft beer industry, will also receive a portion of the proceeds.
There will be something on tap for every palate: traditional styles, hoppy IPAs, fruited beers, and rich stouts.
