Sunset Foods Hosts Free Craft BeerFest

will be hosting a free craft beer festival from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 22.

The Great American Craft BeerFest features beer tastings with experts on hand to discuss beer from O’Fallon Brewery, Great Lakes Brewing Company, Hinterland Brewery, Founders Brewing Company, and Arcadia Ales. Samples of food specifically selected to be paired with the beer is also provided.

Since its founding in January 2000, the O’Fallon Brewery has met with much success. Its Unfiltered Wheat took the Bronze Medal in 2005 and O’Fallon Smoked Porter won a Gold Medal in 2004 at the Great American Beer Festival!

Dedicated to uncompromising service, continuous improvement and innovative consumer education, Great Lakes Brewing Company is an environmentally-respectful and socially-conscious company committed to crafting flavorful, high-quality beer. 

Founded in 1995, the award-winning Hinterland is devoted to brewing world class beer. The small artisanal brewery makes eleven beers, each designed for the ultimate beer experience.

Founders Brewing Company is a group of passionate beer enthusiasts who state, “We don’t brew beer for the masses. Instead, our beers are crafted for a chosen few, a small cadre of renegades and rebels who enjoy a beer that pushes the limits of what is commonly accepted as taste. In short, we make beer for people like us.”

Established in 1996 as a microbrewery specializing in handcrafted British-style ales, Arcadia Brewing Company combines brewing methods, equipment, and barley from England with hops from the Pacific Northwest and the United States to create the freshest handcrafted ales available on any continent.
