Newtown’s premiere beer festival – Newtown Beerfest – is just days away.
The outdoors event, presented by the Newtown Fire Association, will be held Saturday, September 17 from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. and will include beer tastings, live music and food at The Stocking Works Complex.
The Stocking Works at 410 South State Street in Newtown Borough, now office space, spent a brief tenure as a stocking manufacturer before being used by a stained glass company, a bobbin factory, and then, during World War II, by the Lavelle Aircraft Corporation.
This year’s festival will bring in brewers from across the country, including locals like Broken Goblet Brewery of Bristol, Triumph Brewing Company of New Hope, Doylestown Brewing Company, Naked Brewing Company of Lower Southampton, Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company of Croydon and Vault Brewing Company of Yardley.
Limited availability tickets for the first tap from 12:30 to 2 p.m. cost $75, general admission tickets (from 2 to 5:30 p.m.) cost $45, and designated drivers can gain admission for just $10.
