Thanksgiving Weekend For Food, Family, and Beer

ViewApart

The Frogtown Craft Beer Festival is more than all that tasty beer. There is also live music from Karl Beatty. Because you'll be drinking beer and it's a weekend of eating, food will be on site.

Plus, you will be drinking beer for a good cause. Proceeds from the Frogtown Craft Beer Festival go to The Peaceful Palate a local non-profit that provides food for the homeless and less fortunate. They work with local restaurants to get food that is not sold, but still good and ready to be served, to the community.
