Snallygaster

Named for a fearsome and toothy mythical beast said to terrorize the region at the turn of the century, Snallygaster is an unprecedented celebration of craft beer and fine food set against a waterfront backdrop featuring a few of the area's top toques, live music, entertainment and family fun.  Snallygaster is an unparalleled one day craft beer and food festival produced by the Neighborhood Restaurant Group.

Curated by Greg Engert, of ChurchKey fame, a sea of classic Oktoberfest lagers, German style and German-inspired beers, exciting autumn seasonals, plus a slew of coveted international finds and unheard of rarities were available. One-off beers brewed specifically for Snallygaster, a huge collection of cask ales, assorted barrel-aged brews, and even a host of Franconian gravity-poured, rubber-clad kegs hardly ever tasted stateside were also present. Full list available here. General admission was $5 - 100% of which was donated to Arcadia Center for Sustainable Food & Agriculture - and food and drink tickets were $1 each.  Swarms of people showed up on this beautiful sunny Fall day.  Here is a photo recap of our eats and drinks...
