Congratulations to Emily Young Hopson (@egrace85) who has won the votes of the people to become the Mayor Of Brewgrass 2015! Dozens of eager candidates tagged their beer-centric Instagram pics with #MayorOfBrewgrass to enter and then a panel of judges narrowed them down to 5 finalists. Folks were then able to vote for their favorite, and although it was pretty close there for awhile between two bovine-loving beer fans, Emily came through with the win. As the Mayor Of Brewgrass, Emily gets:
  • A one of a kind mayoral sash and tasting cup worthy of your title
  • Two (2) VIP Passes to Brewgrass Festival 2015 on September 19th at Memorial Stadium
  • Two (2) Invites to the Brewer’s Only Dinner on September 18th
  • A Gift Basket of Brewgrass Festival goodies from our participating breweries and sponsors
  • Two (2) Tickets to Brewgrass Festival 2016

The 19th Annual Brewgrass Festival takes place on Saturday, September 19th in Memorial Stadium in Asheville, NC.  Set to perform is the Jeff Austin Band, Truth & Salvage Co., Big Daddy Love, and Packway Handle Band while over 50 breweries sample a diverse assortment of national and regional craft beers.
