Brew Riot is an annual celebration of local home brew culture, and this year’s event (in Bishop Arts this Sunday from 4pm-7pm) features 51 home brewing teams with over 150 different types of beer. Each of the teams is required to bring 5 gallons of each entry, and they will be judged by local professional brewers including Frtiz Rahr from Rahr and Sons Brewing Company, Dennis Wehrmann from Franconia Brewing Company, Wim Bens from Lakewood Brewing Company, Tait Lifto from Deep Ellum Brewing Company, and Greg Leftwich from Four Corners Brewing Company. Of course there’s also a People’s Choice – for $20 you can sample all 150 beers (or as many as you decide is a good idea since we presume you have to work on Monday morning).
They are kicking Brew Riot off with the 1st Annual 1.1 Mile Beer Run, an actual 1.1 mile run starting at Nova and including stops at The Kessler and Bolsa. 8 ounce beers will be consumed by the runners at each stop and our runners will be the first in line to taste the homebrew at the finish line in Bishop Arts.
