MORRISTOWN — Beer, beer and more beer will be on tap at the Big Brew Beer Festival in the Morristown Armory on Feb. 21.

This is the fourth year the beer festival is hitting Morristown and will be serving up more than 200 craft beers from all over the world.

"We have breweries from all over and a slathering of international brews," said Allison Kohler, President of JMK Shows & Events who is hosting the festival. "The beer selection emcompasses the whole country. Our strongest showing is New Jersey. We have between 10 to 12 New Jersey breweries."

Plus Morris Tap & Grill presents the VIP lounge featuring 10 casks. VIP ticket holders will enjoy an extra hour of tasting and food from four area restaurants.

"Casks have never been at beer festival," Kohler said. "We are the first to bring it to New Jersey."

A free Shuttle Service between the festival and Morristown Train Station will also be offered.

JMK first launched the Big Brew Festival in 2011 at the Garden State Exhibit Center in Somerset but was moved right after that.

"We wanted a more beercentric community," Kohler said. "So we moved to Morristown."

Since 2011, the festival has grown to have events in Westchester, N.Y. and Sussex County — which launched for the first time this year the fairgrounds. Another Big Brew beer festival is set to return to Sussex County on May 9 at the fairgrounds.
