The Festival - June 23 & 24 - Mechanics Hall
12% Imports and Shelton Brothers have partnered to present a unique international festival focused on artisanal brewers, as well as cider and mead makers. We aren’t just throwing the words ‘unique’ or ‘artisanal’ around lightly here. We specialize in importing small-batch products, from tiny producers, in far-off places, in very small quantities. Never before has any festival in the U.S. featured such a broad array of traditional drinks from across the globe. That alone is unique, but what’s even more special about The Festival is that the people who create these beers, ciders, and meads will actually be on hand to pour them! Every single producer will be there: more than sixty different artisans, bringing over three-hundred different beers, ciders, and meads! We have producers traveling from as far away as Japan and New Zealand – all told, more than a dozen countries will be represented at The Festival.
Location: Mechanics Hall, 321 Main Street, Worcester MA 01608
Session 1: Saturday, 23 June, 12pm – 4pm
Session 2: Saturday, 23 June, 5:30pm – 9:30pm
Session 3: Sunday, 24 June, 12pm – 5pm
