Great Beer, Historic Aircraft, and a Worthy Cause

I'll be reaching out to local breweries and brew pubs again this year seeking their participation. Last year we had great support from local breweries and brew pubs and we're hoping for even more this year!
If you're part of a brewery and you're reading this, please consider participating. Leave a comment with your contact info, or shoot me an email and I'll get back to you... (bryon at homebrewbeer.net)

Where: The New England Air Museum Windsor Locks, CT
What: The event includes locally produced beer, wine and cheese, delicious hors d'oeuvres, raffles, coffee and dessert.

Awesome! Bryon, how do you get involved in the planning of this thing? I love the concept. My hope is that I can leverage my Alumni group to make this type of event happen up here. Let me know what's involved in the planning process and what contacts you're using! Thanks Buddy!

Rob,
I got involved in the committee through my previous Public Affairs and related community relations position in the military... My base support's the committee's annual space and aviation day... When I heard about the beer and wine event, I told them about my love of homebrewing and craft beer and they asked me to head up the beer portion of the event... I'll chat with you offline regarding contacts and what not...
Sounds like a good time! I'll have to see how far this is from Jersey - maybe I'll make the trip!
Scott, might be quite a road trip, but while you're up in the area, be sure to visit the local breweries that will be attending...
Hope to see you there!
Nice blog. Enjoyed going through it. Keep it up the good work. Cheers :)
Thanks Hampers...
This event was really well organized last year, I wish I had known about it years 1-3 as well. Looking forward to the 5th anniversary!
