The Queen City Brewers Festival (QCBF) will premiere at the Neighborhood Theatre on Saturday, February 4, 2012. QCBF is exclusive to the Charlotte-area breweries that are putting the Queen City on the craft beer map. The event will feature a diverse selection of beer styles and flavors for the Charlotte community to taste and learn about from official brewery representatives. Proceeds raised from the event will benefit Partners for Parks, a nonprofit, nonpartisan foundation that seeks to promote and enhance parks, recreation and open space in neighborhoods throughout Mecklenburg County and the surrounding area.

More than thirty craft beers will be on hand with each brewery showcasing its full lineup of beers. Brewers are encouraged to bring one "super" flavor or style of beer especially for QCBF, as the event takes place the day before the Super Bowl. QCBF will partner with Charlotte-based food vendors, and guests will also enjoy live music. Guests must have a valid photo ID and be 21 years of age or older to enter the festival. Updates will be posted regularly on event website and official Facebook page.
