The 12th annual Litchfield Hills Brewfest was hosted at Ski Sundown in New Hartford on June 10. Local breweries poured beer tastes, along with wine, spirits, cider, RTDs and hard seltzer brands. Festivalgoers enjoyed food from Hot Z’s Burgers, Dogz & Grilled Creationz; Tots Brats & Hots; Cousins Maine Lobster; and I Know a Guy Foods LLC, along with their beer, wine and spirits samples. Organized Chaos and Brian Mattiello provided live music throughout the afternoon event, which benefited Saint Maron Maronite Catholic Church in Torrington; Brooker Memorial, a nonprofit providing child care and early learning programs in the Torrington area; and Summit Adaptive Sports, a nonprofit giving sports and recreation education to people with disabilities.
