Drink Up

Beer enthusiasts packed Court Square in Springfield on Aug. 29 for the first annual Valley Fest, which featured offerings from more than 50 breweries, plus food and live music. The event also featured a home-brewing competition; the winners were Black & Blue Brews (judges’ choice) and Footbridge Brew (people’s choice). Also paying a visit (below left, center of photo) was celebrity chef Marc Stroobandt, Stella Artois’ master beer sommelier.
