Tryon Beer Fest brought beer lovers together at the Tryon Depot Plaza for an afternoon of German food, lively games, and plenty of craft beer. Appalachian Mountain Brewery, Catawba Brewing Co., and Green Man Brewery offered just a few of the many beers on tap. Presented by the Tryon Downtown Development Association, proceeds benefited Big Brothers Big Sisters of WNC and Tryon’s downtown improvement projects.
