"It’s a great event, one of my favorites to do," says Campbell Brewing Company Master Brewer Jim Turturici. "It's held in a production facility, a big warehouse and there's anywhere from 15 to 25 breweries and you pay a flat rate and you get to sample as many beers as you want."

Campbell Brewing Company has participated every year but due to an injury, Turturici will not be representing the local brewery in this year's event.

"It's a great event," he says. "It's a beer festival first, not some art and wine festival where there's a 'beer section.' It focuses on just the brewers and the breweries."
