Copper State Beer Fest 2025

This year's 4th Annual Copper State Beer Fest was biggest and best yet! More beer vendors, more food trucks, more market vendors, and more activities. Luckily, I did not have any technical difficulties.

I had the good fortune to talk with John, the social media director from Saddle Mountain Brewing. I also talked with two festival goers at two different points of the event. Lots of fun had by all.
