Taste over 60 craft brews from across the country!

Enjoy live music in the park. This 2015 Blues and Brews event is the Upper Cumberland's 2nd Annual Craft Beer Festival at Dogwood Park benefiting WCTE Upper Cumberland PBS.

In order to accommodate more attendees, there are some differences from previous Blues & Brews events:

  • There will be a LARGE tent with more than 20 breweries represented, with most breweries offering two craft brews each for you to sample. As the day goes on and more kegs get tapped, different brews will be available for you to try.
  • In order to let you sample more brews, you will receive a commemorative tasting glass that will allow you to sample as many beers as you can responsibly handle.
  • Live music will be performed on the performance pavilion stage during the day. You are welcome to bring a blanket or lawn chair to lounge on in the music area as you enjoy the festival.
  • Food is available for purchase from local vendors on-site.

WCTE is donor-supported television. Everything we do - from educational outreach and community events to award-winning local productions and signature PBS programs - is possible because of supporters like you. Thank you for your generosity.
