Bring your friends and taste a variety of barrel-aged beers. Brewmeisters will share their expertise in the creation of this style of beer. Your admission provides you with flight-size pours of barrel aged beer served by brewery staff while you enjoy live music by the Benton Jazz Trio and complimentary appetizers.  Grubbing Hard BBQ will be there for hungry guests and you can bid for great items and services from local businesses in a Silent Auction. Try all the varieties and vote for your favorite to earn the Olney's Choice Award for Best Brew. Designated Driver tickets are available for those that want to enjoy the event without the alcohol. 
This is a fundraiser by Olney Civic Fund for the benefit Olney HELP.  For over 50 years Olney HELP has provided emergency food and financial assistance to individuals and families in the Greater Olney area. Nobody should go hungry. https://www.olneycivicfund.org/barrel-aged-beer-fest.html

GivingTuesday is December 3rd this year. Created in 2012, this now global generosity movement inspires us to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. Where better to give than in our own community? There are a few ways to help our community through Olney Help – we accept donations of food, money, grocery store gift cards, gift cards for teens to help fill our holiday baskets for families, and gifts of your time through volunteering with us. We need it all!

Olney HELP has been selected as the Olney Theatre Center's 6th Community Partner. The goal of this program is to amplify the mission and work of community partners, which includes the mutual goal to embody the anti-racist values of building a greater civic society. Our first activity will be a food drive and splitting the bucket-brigade donations during the holiday show season. Collection boxes will be found at Olney Theatre Center during their fall season. For more information see www.olneytheatre.org/your-visit/community-engagement/community-partners-program.

Olney Help will be collecting non-perishable food items, cash, and grocery store gift card donations at this year's Spook-tacular in the Fair Hill Shopping Centre.
