The third annual Hops in the Hills festival is set to ramp up June 23 and 24, 2017, in downtown Maryville, Tenn. This yearly craft beer festival will celebrate the science and agriculture of the region, showcasing the area's finest artisan brews. Beer, food and music enthusiasts alike will gather to enjoy the celebration. Hops in the Hills brew week, June 19-22, leads up to the main event over the weekend with a week-long “Celebration of Fermentation.” Each day, a different brewery will feature prizes, games and music for visitors to prepare them for the weekend’s events.
