HOMES Brewery hosts their annual Nucleate festival on Saturday June 8 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The event features breweries from around the world and will benefit charity.

Nucleate takes place at Veteran’s Memorial Park in Ann Arbor on Saturday June 8 from 1 – 6 p.m. All proceeds from the festival will go to Ozone House which provides emergency shelter, safe space, transitional housing and counseling for homeless youth, LGBT runaway teens and families in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti.

Head Brewer Nick Panchamé said “The original idea behind Nucleate was to bring all our favorite breweries and beers from out of state to Ann Arbor. So beer fans get to try beers you’d normally have to travel for, and all the industry folks get to hang out, share ideas, and form new friendships.”
