You can enjoy a day of drinks, entertainment and music at the second-annual Oakley Beer Fest this weekend.
Element Eatery in Madisonville is hosting the festival Saturday, May 18 starting at 3 p.m. Oakley Beer Fest will feature beverages from over 70 breweries and spirits providers, including MadTree and Little Kings; samples from nine food vendors; and the Sam Adams Stein Hoist competition. There will also be live music from Brad Martin, Ryan Alfred, Hillary Hahn and the Bronson Arroyo Band, and vendors will be set up so you can do some shopping.
“Join us for an afternoon of great music and beer,” David Chao, Element Eatery interim general manager, said in a press release. “At Element Eatery, we enjoy hosting events that bring the community together, and that’s just one reason why we’re excited to host the second Oakley Beer Fest this year.”
The stein hoist competition will be at 6 p.m., and an after-party following the festival starts at 8 p.m.
