The craft brews also will include Revolution's "Fist City," a pale ale brewed with two row and red wheat with specialty malt and "Oktoberfest," a classic German-style beer with a pleasant, toasty malt flavor.
Visitors can enjoy the craft beers for $2 per 4 oz. sample or $5 per 12 oz. glass.
Live music will be provided by college crowd favorite Pat McCurdy, a singer-songwriter with an unusual off-beat sense of humor. There also will be free adult yard games including badminton; corn hole; lawn twister and "Yardzee." Food will be available for purchase from Dukes BBQ, Dundee Depot Dogs and Rosie O'Hare's Public House.
