Leanna Erickson and Brooke Erickson along with Sara Helmkamp and Gil Helmkamp look friendly here, but they’re about to enjoy the traditional Bavarian game, Hammerschlagen.

TRYON–The 11th Annual Tryon Beer Fest was held on Saturday, November 5. Beer lovers from across the area enjoyed samples from over twenty local and regional breweries, as well as games, live music, food and a photo booth. A steady rain during the second half of the Fest didn’t dampen the spirits of festivalgoers, and this annual tradition continues to be a local favorite each year. The Beer Fest was presented by Tryon Downtown Development Association, and sponsored by New View Realty. (Photos by Mark Levin)
