There are many fun and charitable reasons to attend the New London Rotary’s Brewfest at the Beach on Friday in Ocean Beach Park, not the least of which is that all proceeds benefit Camp Rotary, a summer camp for New London middle school students.

But you like beer, right? And over 150 brews will be available for tasting from several brewers of Hops ‘n’ Barley Greatness. Blue Point. Long Trail. Redhook. Yuengling. Grey Sail. Stony Creek. Anchor Steam. Southern Tier. Greenport Harbor. Back East. Brooklyn Brewery. Charter Oak.

Wait! I’m not finished!

Cisco. City Steam. Dogfishhead. Six Point. Founders. Sierra Nevada. Heavy Seas. Lagunitis. Magic Hat. Old Burnside. Palm Breeze. Shiner. Unita.

You’re really thirsty, aren’t you? Cool. Because there’s still more.

Boston Beer. Sam Adams. Traveler Beer Company. Broad Brook. Harpoon. Glutenberg. Cottrell. Captain Lawrence. Guinness. Ithaca. Two Roads. Mayflower. Wolaver. Thimble Island. Brescome/Barton.

And, of course Coors, Miller, Anheuser-Busch, all sorts of ciders, hard lemonades, wines, coolers — and live music and food. See you there!
