According to a recent report by Bloomberg Television, nearly 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted worldwide every year, which is equivalent to a staggering $1 trillion in lost value. Food waste not only has a significant financial impact but also contributes to methane emissions as it rots in landfills. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, accelerates the rise in global temperatures, exacerbating climate change. Moreover, wasting food also means wasting the resources, labor, and energy that went into producing it.

CT Beer Fest 2023: A Journey Through Hops and Happiness

Welcome to the visual diary of the Connecticut Beer Festival 2023, an event that brought together a vibrant tapestry of flavors, fun, and festivity, all under the banner of the Connecticut Brewers Guild. This album is more than just a collection of photographs; it's a story of community, craftsmanship, and celebration, encapsulating a day where the earthy aroma of hops mingled with the melodies of live music and the spirit of Earth Day.

Beyond the beers and the bands, these images capture the heart of the festival – the people. From enthusiasts and connoisseurs to curious first-timers, the festival was a melting pot of individuals united by their love for good beer. Smiling faces, clinking glasses, and animated conversations fill these pages, a testament to the community spirit that the Connecticut Brewers Guild fosters.
