Taste 100 Local Beers and Support Stroke Awareness at Weedstrong Brewfest on August 18th at Quassy Amusement Park

Now thats my kind of stroke fundraiser.
If they had a coffee beer like I made once it could be even better.

The Connecticut Brewers Guild is pleased to announce Weedstrong Brewfest at Quassy Amusement Park in Middlebury on Sunday August 18th from 2 to 6 p.m. to help raise stroke awareness and support for Mike Weed, a father of three young children who suffered a stroke on May 17th at the age of 37.
For an advanced ticket price of just $40, the Weedstrong Brewfest event will feature a beer tasting with more than 100 varieties of craft beer, live local music, free parking and an all-day Quassy Ride and Splash Away Bay Water Park pass from 11 to 8 p.m. Children’s all-day Ride and Splash Away Bay passes are available at a reduced price of just $15 with the advance purchase of an adult Brewfest ticket. The event will be held rain or shine, and park pass vouchers will be provided if the park closes due to inclement weather. $25 from each Brewfest ticket will benefit Mike and his family, and tickets can be purchased online at http://www.quassy.com/plan-your-visit/events.
With someone somewhere experiencing a stroke every 40 seconds, it is very important to Mike and his wife Heidi to educate others about stroke symptoms. Please visit http://www.weedstrong.org for more information including a stroke awareness video created by family and friends, a link to a facebook page to share Mike’s progress, an online donation site and more. Please share this link with your friends!
About a year before his stroke, Mike introduced the Weed Amber Ale recipe to Connecticut. While Weed Beer is growing in popularity, it is not yet helping to pay the bills and growing medical expenses as Mike fights hard on his “Weedstrong” rehabilitation journey. That’s where friends and supporters of fundraising events like the Weedstrong Brewfest are coming together to help a family in need.
Supporters can also help out by purchasing Weed Beer as any profits will benefit Mike and his family. Weed Beer can be purchased anywhere in CT, and if your favorite package store or restaurant does not yet carry it, please ask them to order it from their Budweiser distributor: HDI, Dichello or Levine.
