Why "Change in the Air?"
What started as a collaboration between New England Brewing and Dockside Brewery as a fundraiser for the CT Brewers Guild African American Brewing Scholarship, has evolved into a festival with the same goal: creating a more inclusive beer industry while uplifting and highlighting black and brown food, music, and art.

Join us on October 23 and be a part of the Change in the Air

All proceeds from the event are going directly to the CT Brewers Guild African American Brewing Scholarship at Sacred Heart University’s Brewing Science Certificate Program.
