Warren, VT June 11, 2012 - Beer and music fans from around the region are readying for the second annual Sugarbush Brew-Grass Festival, an unforgettable afternoon of craft beers and live music.

The festival will be held on Saturday, June 16th from 3-8 PM and will feature over twenty of the regions' finest craft brewers.

Rolling from 3 pm to 8 pm, the Sugarbush Brew-Grass Festival is slated to feature the brewing talents of The Alchemist, Fiddlehead, Harpoon, Lawson's Finest, Lake Placid, Long Trail, Magic Hat, Narragansett, Norwich Inn, Northshire, Otter Creek, Saranac, Shed, Shipyard, Smuttynose, Switchback, White Birch, Wolaver's, Woodchuck Cider, Woodstock Inn Brewery, Von Trapp's, and Zero Gravity.

Three acts inspired by the bluegrass tradition will set the musical atmosphere for the evening. They include the honkytonk sounds of Waylon Speed, local-favorite The Grift and the acoustic-foursome The Gulch.

Locally inspired barbecue will be available throughout the day to satisfy the appetites of festivalgoers. Michael's Good-to-Go farm-to-food truck will be dishing up street food favorites. The Sugarbush culinary team will be serving up freshly-smoked pork belly sandwiches and a grilled pizza station will feature made-to-order pizzas and slices.

Admission is $25 for tickets pre-purchased and includes beer samples, live music and a souvenir glass. A limited number of t-shirts will be on sale during the festival.
