Untapped adds new music and plenty of home brew to sample

Director of the WYO Theater, Erin Butler, appeared on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse to talk about the upcoming Untapped Homebrew Festival. 

The theater is inviting everyone to kick-off their WYO Rodeo week with the WYO Theater and Bighorn Homebrew Club when they present the Fifth Annual Untapped Homebrew Festival Saturday, July 8, noon to 4 p.m. 

Butler said one the goal of the festival is to celebrate homebrewers. Although the WYO has added more homebrewers this year, officials want Untapped to remain a smaller, more intimate setting than most brewfests.

Food will be made available as well and home brewed root beer is expected to be added to the line up of available beverages. No festival is complete without music and Butler said this year’s line up will include returning favorites and new groups to keep the crowd dancing.

Attendees on July 8, can vote for their favorite beer with the winner of the “Denny Gresham People’s Choice Award” receiving $200 cash and bragging rights. The winner of “Best in Show” as voted on by Luminous Brewhouse judges, will have the opportunity for their beer to be brewed and offered at Luminous along with their own $200 cash prize.
