Heist Brewery hosted their third annual Night & Day Festival on Saturday Nov. 12. They hosted 52 breweries and meaderies from around the country with over 125 beers available. There were also special surprise pours available throughout the day.

Night & Day 3 was a beautiful day with ideal fest weather until perfectly at the 5 p.m. end time it began to rain. The fest was pretty relaxed and quiet–the lines were never very long and there were chill vibes all around.

Night & Day is dedicated to varying beer styles and showcases how each brewery accomplishes two different styles of beer. Most breweries followed these directions and brought two differing styles of beer to choose from, ensuring a wide variety of beers were available.
