You might think of Asheville as Beer City USA, but this fest is Boone’s answer to raising awareness of the High Country’s great beer selections. Celebrating craft brews from around the region and the world, educational seminars will cover the different aspects of brewing, beer tasting, and food pairing. Live music will combine with the libations, and most of the proceeds will benefit student scholarships and academic research for Appalachian State University’s Chemistry and Fermentation Sciences program, as well as many local nonprofit organizations. » High Country Fairgrounds, 748 Roby Greene Rd.; Saturday, 2 p.m.-7 p.m.; $50-$100, $20 for designated driver; director@hcbeerfest.com; www.hcbeerfest.com
