This year, about 15 breweries will be participating including some regional brews such as Devils Backbone, Sunken City, and Soaring Ridge.

"We're actually showcasing all the food and how it pairs with beers that we've got on site," says JD Sutphin, Big Lick Entertainment.

Tickets are still available for this year's even. The event sold out within 15 minutes last year. About 500 people attended last year.
