- Napalm Death headlined a metal bill with Municipal Waste, Gatecreeper, Midnight, Deadguy and Crypt Sermon, and 20 guest breweries poured[1][4]
- Fans travel from across the country for one of the biggest bottle shares in the US[1][3]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
