The Local Challenge: Five chefs, local brews, producers
We’ve got a slightly bigger venue this year, but given last year’s attendance, which swelled slightly beyond capacity, we would advise signing up early. Details are below; this promises to be a great event. We’ll post a list of producers that have committed to bring product in the coming days. Sign up!
