Hey everyone, It is sad for me to say that the era of Festa is ending. I have been with this company for most of my life. With that said, I am moving on. :( I have met / made so many amazing friends here. I hope you keep in touch with me charles@charlesfesta.com or you can friend me on facebook if you have not already.

I have watched this company grow from a few friends to a huge family, I am lucky to say that I was part of it. I love all of you. I'll still be hanging around and you will see me at the meetup. I'm tearing up right now as I write this. -Festa Out

Bitter News:

FINCH New Brewery in Chicago.

Finch has finished brewing Threadless IPA!! That's right I said it! The smell of rich hops up front, golden pour, finished with a head of white. So yeah, this kicks ass.

I contacted my good friend at Kenmore and he hooked Threadless up with 2 Half-Barrel Keg Dispenser's! Kabooom!!

The Keg Dispensers are a little on the neked side. Just a plain black cube, stainless steel door, that keeps beer cold. I am thinking that we pimp these cubes out.
