The third edition of the Mash Tun Festival takes place June 22th, 2-6pm, 2013 in Bridgeport, the Community of the Future.

The festival features over thirty of the world’s best breweries pouring over sixty different brews. Flagship and rare beers will be poured alongside one-of-a-kind concoctions at the stunning Bridgeport Art Center at 35th and Racine. The festival will be held in the 19th century atrium and the Center’s lovely sculpture garden. Local chefs and food trucks will be vending. Craft spirits and wineries will also be sampling their wares and you will help decide which brewery will win an award for making the best beer.

We are hosting an awards ceremony this year and will be giving out awards to brewers that make the best liquid in these categories:

Hopped and Confused
The Bold and Beautiful
Every Day is Like Sunday
WTF Is This

Participating Breweries include:
Against the Grain, Ale Syndicate, Artisanal Imports, Breckenridge, Baderbrau, Ballast Point, Begyle, Destihl, Deshutes, Goose Island, Evil Twin, Finch’s, Five Rabbits, Founder’s, Gigantic, Great Lakes, Greenbush, Half Acre, Lagunitas, Mikkeller, New Belgium, Petrus, Pipeworks, Red Streak, Revolution, Scratch, Solemn Oath, Stone, Summit, Three Floyds, Two Brothers, Tighthead, Vandberg & De Wulf and others.

The festival is a celebration of the release of Mash Tun: A Craft Beer Journal issue #3. The Mash Tun is a publication put out by your buddies at Maria’s Packaged Goods & Community Bar and The Public Media Institute, a non profit arts and culture organization based in Bridgeport. Mash Tun is our paean to craft beer. It follows the pleasures and aesthetics of craft beer and how it intersects with food, culture, and society.

Marz Community Brewing is a close–knit group of creatives, brewers, artists, doers, makers and friends who got together for the love of beer. Together they are opening a nano-brewery in Bridgeport, the Community of the Future, to provide a unique experiment in craft brewing.

Besides making amazing liquid, Marz will be brewing and selling Community Brews to help fund artist organizations, non profit groups and community activists in the neighborhood. By sharing the proceeds from beer sales Marz hopes to fund projects and people that help make our city a better place to live work and play in.

The brewery is also starting an Incubator Program to help other brewers kickstart their own business plans by bringing their liquid dreams to the market. Marz will release certain beers under a qualified home brewer's brand name, then bring it to market through our distributor and supply chains.

Marz Community Brewing is also starting a Brewers Exchange program, offering residencies and collaborations with brewers overseas. Marz will send American brewers to our partner brewery in The Netherlands and we will be sending European brewers to collaborate with local breweries in Chicago.

If you have a minute please visit our website and sign up to our newsletter. Please "Like" us on Spacebook, too! And while yer at it become our twitter friend. You will be the first people invited to our private tastings and events before we open to the public.
