An exciting event is coming to Phoenixville, PA this May. The first Phoenixville Beer & Wine Festival is happening this Saturday, May 13 at the Kimberton Fairgrounds. From 12-4:30 p.m., guests will be able to sample beverages from a myriad of local and national breweries, wineries, as well as mead, cider and spirits.

This event marks a first for the town of Phoenixville, which is seeing a new resurgence in its local community and commerce. “We are happy and honored to have so many Phoenixville Area businesses that have become sponsors and vendors-another way of supporting the community and downtown businesses,” said Christine Tarlecki, Phoenixville’s Beer & Wine Festival’s PR and Digital Marketing Director.

This festival will benefit the Phoenixville Public Library, a registered 501c3 Pennsylvania non-profit organization.  The library serves a diverse region through access to information, technology, social networking and educational programming. “The Phoenixville community is very important to us, and our events reflect that,” explained Tarlecki. In conjunction with Molly Maguire’s Irish Restaurant and Pub and Lagunitas Brewing Company, Phoenixville Beer & Wine Festival hosted a beer pairing dinner on April 30th to raise additional funds for the Phoenixville Public Library. For $75, each attendee enjoyed a delicious four-course meal paired with four of Lagunita’s brews. Dinner included:

• First Course: House salad with cranberries or Colcannon soup, paired with Lagunitas’ Pils
• Second Course: A Scotch egg or Colcannon potato balls, paired with Lagunitas’ IPA
• Third Course: Shepherd’s pie or Madras chicken curry, paired with Lagunitas’ Undercover Investigation Shutdown Ale
• Fourth Course: Bread Pudding with a Saucy Blonde Martini
