Information about the weekend Brewfest:
The Holyoke Canoe Club Brewfest is back again, featuring local bands and unlimited craft beer tasting on the banks of the gorgeous Connecticut River. The 2013 edition of the 'fest comes some very special new perks, including a homebrewing contest, free parking, and, most importantly, a renewed focus on keeping things local: All of the 20+ featured breweries are crafted within three hours of the Pioneer Valley. Each will be bringing multiple fresh brews, so there will be more than 50 beers to sample, from IPAs to porters and beyond.
Big river, small brewers
Come out and enjoy it all
September 6, 5-10pm & September 7, 12-10pm

Sounds like fun, but I’m going to be at the Jamoboree in NH that weekend.

Since each entrant has to bring 5 gallons, is the judging done by the attending public, giving tickets to the best beer?
