About 23rd Annual Barley Cup Brewfest
Brewfest
This brewfest began 23 years ago when brewer Chris Oslin
formulated the idea based on his love of hockey. This event would turn into the
Stanley Cup of brewfests! The winner only holds the growing trophy temporarily
before it's returned to its home at the Thompson, just like the Stanley Cup.
This event turned into quite the community affair, as a local Salem Brew Club
would do the judging. We think it's still a matter of public interest as the
voting is now done by you!
