What is OktoBEER Fest?

Bellefonte Brewing Co. is joining forces with the Trauma Survivors Foundation and 302 Phalanx Foundation to give people the opportunity to gather with friends and drink beer for a good cause. Brews from eight local breweries will be featured. The event will also host a variety of local food trucks and vendors from local businesses, plus giveaways, 50/50 raffles and games.
