The Mohegan Sun BrewFest weekend takes place Friday and Saturday — which was craftily scheduled to take place after all the Oktoberfest events in Germany are finished. That means American tourists will have just enough time to sober up on their international flights back home — and arrive at Mohegan Sun for BrewFest!

The event kicks off with a Seltzer Social Friday night in the Earth Ballroom. Hard seltzers are featured along with Hot Rod Café’s award-winning wings. Music provided by DJ Jay R One.

On Saturday in the Earth Expo & Convention Center, the focus turns to beer. Over 100 varieties, brewers and styles will be represented, along with food vendors, live music and plenty of beer-centric activities.
