What: Beer Festival

When: Saturday - September 08, 2012 @ 01:00PM to Saturday - September 08, 2012 @ 06:00PM

Where: Corner Of Main & State Streets, Rockford, Illinois
Second annual celebration of craft beer in Rockford, which was at one time the screw capitol of the world (manufactured more nuts, bolts, screws, and other fasteners than anywhere else) and which currently has a vibrant craft beer scene, including Carlyle Brewpub, The Olympic Tavern, and The Oasis Micropub, the Kryptonite music venue, and Artale Wine and Beer Company.

The 2011 festival was a roaring success, described as "the best party of the year" by one attendee. Plans for the 2012 festival include expanded offerings and special releases.
