Annual Brandywine Valley Craft Brewers Festival to be Hosted by Iron Hill Media

“At Iron Hill, giving back to our neighbors is a critical part of who we are and what we do, and each year, our Media location contributes considerably to their community with the Brandywine Valley Craft Brewers Festival,” says Iron Hill Director of Brewing Operations Mark Edelson.  “We’re proud to host this exciting celebration of beer and brewing, now in its 14thyear, and especially excited to honor our brewers who recently earned medals at the World Beer Cup.”

Tickets are available online, and are $45 per person; advance purchase is strongly suggested, as this event often sells out early.  Remaining tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis for $50 per person at the door, while designated driver tickets will be available for $5 per person.

All guests must be 21 or older with valid ID to enter.  All proceeds will be donated to the Media Youth Center, which provides a safe environment, along with a wide array of recreational and educational programs, for area youth.
