CLICK HERE TO ORDER YOUR TICKETS.St. Patrick’s Day will bring the first green of spring to Downtown Franklin, with the return of the Main Street Brew Fest on Saturday, March 17. In its ninth year, the popular event will feature more than 50 craft beers at 29 tasting sites from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., along with Celtic performers and plenty of Irish cheer!
Presented by R.S. Lipman Company and Lipman Brothers, the Brew Fest is an opportunity for beer lovers to taste some of the latest local, national and international additions to an exploding micro-brewery market while exploring Downtown Franklin’s historic retail district. The event has sold out well in advance the past two years, and tickets are selling fast.
The Beer
Several new brands will be featured in this year’s festival, including Craggie Brewing Company of Asheville, N.C., Estrella Damm of Barcelona, Spain, and Lost Coast of Eureka, Calif. Many of last year’s favorites, such as California’s Ace Cider, Nashville-based Yazoo and Left Hand from Colorado, are returning. A complete beer list will be available in early March.
Entertainment
In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, a host of Irish entertainers will be performing, including the Nashville Pipes and Drums group in full Celtic regalia strolling the streets with bagpipes, the pub-song band The Irish Gypsies at Five Points and Mitch O’Reily wandering through different tasting sites on Irish flute. As a complement to the district’s restaurants, several food vendors will be set up, and Puckett’s Grocery & Restaurant will be unveiling their food trolley at the event.
Cost
Tickets are $40 in advance, and available here.
