January 23 – March 21, 2021! Brews & Bros Craft Beer Festival Goes on the Road!
Tour de Taproom
Just because we can't all gather together for our annual celebration of Last Name Brewing's Anniversary doesn't mean we can't still celebrate some of the best craft beer in our area! Join us for a Tour de Taproom — our mobile beerfest. From January 23 to March 21 Brews & Bros Passport Holders will get to visit the taprooms of participating breweries to get a complimentary 16oz fill of their festival mini-growler, or another to-go option at the brewery's discretion. Plus participating breweries will be offering discounts for on site purchases throughout the festival! As always, proceeds from this festival go to the Claremont Educational Foundation to support art, music and technology in Claremont’s public schools. So your ticket supports two great things during a very difficult time for both — local craft breweries and local schools! Doing good tastes great — Cheers!
Tickets are on sale now!
