This year’s Uncorked on the Green attracted hundreds to Ross Bridge on Saturday, Oct. 10.
The event looked a little different than past years, adding a home brew competition and bringing stilt walkers and hula-hoop dancers to the Green at Ross Bridge. Visitors were able to taste beers from more than 50 craft breweries in addition to several wines. Tasting booths were interspaced with local art and clothing vendors.
There was also a family fun area with an inflatable slide, face painting and crafts.
Uncorked also held its first Master of the Brew competition, welcoming homebrewers to show off their best beer. Warrior resident James Glass was the grand prize winner for his Black Saturday beer, winning a fermenter, Hop City gift card, $250 in cash, Avondale gift card and the opportunity to brew 15 bbls at Avondale Brewing Company.
Hoover resident Craig Pinkerton was the runner-up for his Pumpkin Ale, winning $100 in cash.
“The first annual Master of the Brew was a huge success,” said Harry Kampakis, President of AlaBev. “All of the entries were top tier homebrews, making it a tough call for the judges.”
