Supporter Press Release:
An International Celebration of Small Brewers and Cider Makers, June 21st and 22nd 2013, Portland ME
(Portland, ME) – Shelton Brothers and 12% Imports have partnered to present a unique international festival focused on artisanal brewers, as well as cider and mead makers. We aren’t just throwing the words ‘unique’ or ‘artisanal’ around lightly here. We specialize in importing small-batch products, from tiny producers, in far-off places, in very small quantities.
Never before has any festival in the U.S. featured such a broad array of traditional drinks from across the globe, well except for last year in Worcester. That alone is unique, but what’s even more special about The Festival is that the people who create these beers, ciders, and meads will actually be on hand to pour them! Every single producer will be there: more than seventy different artisans, bringing over three-hundred different beers, ciders, and meads. We have producers traveling from Belgium, Germany, The United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, Japan and New Zealand and more.
This two-day event will also feature some of New England’s best gourmet food truck, including: The Thirsty Pig, Bite into Maine and Hella Good Tacos.
