Magic Hat Fights Hunger with Fourth Annual Oktoberfeast
Local Food & Drink Festival to Benefit Vermont Foodbank
South Burlington, VT – Magic Hat is once again joining the Vermont Foodbank in an effort to make sure no Vermonter goes hungry this fall. The fourth annual Oktoberfeast celebration is set to take place outside at the beer-maker’s South Burlington brewery on Saturday, October 3rd from 12-5pm.
Admission to Oktoberfeast is $5, all of which will benefit the Vermont Foodbank. Once inside the festival, localvores will have access to samples from more than 20 local food and drink makers. Magic Hat will be hosting an outdoor beer garden featuring year-round favorites, seasonal selections and a special beer brewed just for Oktoberfeast. Dull moments are not expected to exist as local musician Lowell Thompson serenades feasters with top notch tunes, and The Artifactory® staff guide attendees around the brewery for free brewery tours every hour on the hour.
