The third annual Small State Great Beer craft beer festival featured more than 30 Connecticut craft brewers, food trucks and live music on September 16 at Constitution Plaza in Hartford. Hosted by Hartford Prints!, approximately 3,500 festival goers enjoyed samples and brand information from brewery representatives. A portion of the proceeds benefited the iQuilt Partnership, a nonprofit urban design plan, whose efforts aid in creating a “walkable and sustainable downtown.”
