Mad River Glen: Siptemberfest - Sept. 14

Back in 2008, three folks who really like beer, really like festivals and really like the Mad River Valley, decided they wanted to bring the fun of a beer fest back to the Valley and that the only way it was going to happen was if they pulled up our bootstraps and did it themselves! 

Although Siptemberfest has grown over the years it is still the greatest little beer festival in the state of Vermont. There are still only around 24 brewers and roughly 800 tickets for sale, making it the Best Little Beer Fest in Vermont.
