Itβs that time of year when events start happening that pride themselves on beer, beer and more beer. This annual fest β started by Carolina BrewMasters β does just that with regional, national and international breweries that provide ticket holders with a plentiful mix of craft beer samples. Those looking to match their brews with the coming fall season will find plenty of pumpkin options, too. For more information, visit www.charlotteoktoberfest.com. (Anita Overcash)
