The seventh annual Crazy Brew Bash took place at the Mount Southington Ski Area in Plantsville on Sept. 17 featuring hundreds of beers from more than 70 local craft breweries, along with select wines, spirits, ciders, ready-to-drink cocktails and hard seltzers. Guests enjoyed live music, a Bloody Mary contest, yard games, ax throwing and more with eats from a variety of food truck vendors. Sponsored by Crazy Bruce’s Liquors, a portion of the proceeds benefited the REACH Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of children through educational programs and scholarships.
