All beers entered in the competition will be served up festival-style at the event, and “beer coins” will be available for guests wishing to enjoy some of the city’s best craft beer alongside their bocce game. This high-spirited competition will be judged by a panel of industry professionals headed by Paul Sangster, master BJCP beer judge and co-founder/Brewmaster of Rip Current Brewing Company.
