The beer will be flowing on Worcester Common in September, as the Massachusetts Brewers Guild is moving its "Mass Fermentational" beer festival and fundraiser to the city in order to reach more beer-lovers.

The festival, usually held at The World Trade Center in Boston, will move to Central Massachusetts to reach more people hoping to quench their thirst with a brew. The brewers guild is expecting to draw 2,500 patrons this year.

"We are excited to shift locations and offer a festival outside of Boston this year," said Rob Burns, co-founder of Night Shift and president of the Massachusetts Brewers Guild. "There are craft beer fans in every corner of the state, it only makes sense to diversify and bring a great beer show closer to their doorstep."

The Mass Fermentational will be at the Common on Saturday, Sept. 16 from 1 to 5 p.m.

The lineup includes Castle Island Brewing, Lord Hobo, Jack's Abby Craft Lagers, Night Shift Brewing, Tree House and Wormtown Brewery.

There will also be new members of the Massachusetts Craft beer scene, including Barrel House Z, Bone Up Brewing Co., CraftRoots, Exhibit 'A', Honest Weight and Start Line Brewing Co.

More than 50 breweries are expected to pour at the Mass Fermentational. Funds raised will go toward educational and marketing programs for local breweries and support government affairs work by the brewers guild.

Tickets are $45 for general admission, which includes unlimited two-ounce beer samples from the participating breweries.

Anyone who wants to enjoy the festival but will not be drinking beer can purchase a "Designated Driver Ticket" for $10.

And like any good event on the Common, there will be food trucks. Big T's BBQ, Press'n It, Sabor Latino, Teddy's Lunch Box, Travelin' Bones BBQ and Trolley Dogs are in the lineup.

As Worcester experiences a renaissance of dining and development, downtown has become a hot spot for beer festivals and a beer garden is set to open at The Grid District.

The festival is for people only 21 and older. For more information and to purchase tickets, go online here.
