HIGHLAND — More than 40 breweries will pour their creations at the third annual Pints in the Park Craft Beer Fest on Saturday in Wicker Park.

"Almost every brewery in Northwest Indiana is gonna be there," said Jeff Dettlo, who organizes the event with his wife, Jennifer.

It is truly a family affair for the Dettlos. Jeff's brother, Brian Cook, runs the catering at the park where the Dettlos met and got married.

"That's a beautiful, beautiful park with historical significance," Jennifer Dettlo said.

She believes the venue is one aspect that makes this beer fest stand out from others.

"The fact that it's outdoors is kind of nice, but you still have the ability to be inside," Jennifer Dettlo said.

The fest has a strong local business flavor and will include some nearby breweries that are making their first appearance at Pints in the Park, including Byway Brewing from Hammond and Route 2 Brews in Lowell.

Three Floyds Brewing, out of Munster, is scheduled to make a return after its absence at the fest last year.
