Here’s a news release I was able to drop in quickly. I admit it’s because it was written up and sent in a timely way. Here goes:

Have you been missing those great beer festivals that had to be cancelled this year? Well, we are too, so the Dixie Highway Brewery Trail is offering you a Beer Fest in-a-Box! Get a great selection of beers from the DHBT breweries, plus some bonus swag! We will have videos available on our website that will feature the brewers giving tasting notes and backstories of the beers. Boxes will need to be picked up at your brewery of choice on Friday, Dec. 18 or Saturday, Dec. 19 during that brewery’s normal business hours. No shipping – pick up only. There will only be 200 cases sold, at $50. Tickets are available at Eventbrite.com. Make sure to check your email, as we will be contacting you to find out where you want to pick up your box. You can also add on one of our new DHBT tee shirts!
