A big hit for going on three years, the Boots & Brews benefit party is returning to Copper Ridge Event Venue on October 17th. The event is known for its beer and spirit tastings, the community camaraderie, live music and food, and this year event coordinators boast more ticketing options, more vendors, and more fun!

The 3rd annual Boots & Brews benefit party will host near 20 beer, wine and spirit vendors, predominately local to the middle Tennessee and surrounding area. Moe's Southwest Grill will provide dinner for the event, and the Dapper Doughnut delicious dessert – all included in your ticket purchase!

The proceeds of Boots & Brews will directly benefit our local Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Center. The center specializes in healing and protective services for all victims of personal violence, free of charge.

"Boots & Brews benefit party has proven to be a favorite here locally, and we absolutely love getting to bring our community together for a light-hearted, fun evening out," said Kara Mischke, Community Relations Manager at the center. "The main reason we do this, however, is to support those who need us during a critical time in their lives. We see a 5-15% increase in individuals and families needing our healing and protective services annually. The success of fundraising events is crucial to our ability to provide support – saying no is not an option for us." 

This event is being made possible by premier level sponsors Copper Ridge Event Venue and Moe's Southwest Grill, as well as Silver Level Sponsors Middle Tennessee Emergency Physicians, DNJ/Murfreesboro Magazine, Redstone Federal Credit Union, Hull Wealth Management, Saint Thomas Rutherford/Ascension, and Purple Level Sponsors Trust Point Hospital, Ana & Brandon Reed, Traditions of Smyrna, The Corbell Group, Chelsea Place, Burn the Treaty, and VIP Murfreesboro.

Vendors for Boots & Brews include Mantra Artisan Ales, Steel Barrel Brewery, Humulus Project, Uncle Nearest Bourbon, Mid State Brewsters, Mid State Brew Crew, Smackdab, Big Machine Vodka, Chattanooga Whiskey, Hi-Wire, Blakes Hard Cidar, Mill Creek Brewing Mayday Brewery, Big Creek Winery Tasting Room, Rhinegeist, Avian Glen Winery, and Bold Rock Hard Cider. 

Multiple ticketing options are available this year, including public VIP tickets which offers guests a private one-hour preview, tasting, and networking hour prior to general admission. Additionally, VIP ticket holder will receive a "fast pass" to hop the lines during the remainder of the event, among other perks. All ticket options are available through Eventbrite.com
