Over 20 breweries will be represented at the Third Annual WV Craft Brew Festival from 3 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Apr. 27, at the State Fairgrounds in Lewisburg. The event is a fundraiser for the State Fair of West Virginia and Lewisburg Rotary Club scholarship funds.

“We are looking forward to another great WV Craft Brew Festival,” State Fair CEO Kelly Collins stated. “Between the two organizations, we have awarded well over $400,000 in scholarships to kids from the Greenbrier Valley and across the state. We hope to continue to grow that number.”

Tickets are also being sold at the Greenbrier Valley Visitor’s Center and City National Banks in Lewisburg. Only 200 VIP tickets will be sold for this event.

On top of local brews and ciders from the region, the WV Craft Brew Festival will feature unique foods and a day full of music. Musical performers include, Folk Soul Revival, Empire Strikes Brass, The Tillers, and Short & Company.
