THANK YOU- we raised over $31,000!
For this first edition of Os Fest, we're going virtual - live prize drawings and other fun will be had as we drink & remember together from wherever we all are.
In addition to getting together and remembering Os, we're keeping his legend going by raising money for some good causes. Donating gives you chances to win some pretty excellent prizes, including bottles drawn from Os's cellar. Between now and the live event, we'll be announcing even more.

A fixture of the east coast beer community, unofficial Mayor of Beer, and dispenser of world-class hugs, Os was often found supporting local businesses and friends, at a brewery or pub, chatting with locals at the bar, or up at his brother’s farm in Connecticut tending to his alpacas. His passions brought him to the rolling hills of Greensboro, Vermont, where friends and family came together to enjoy his favorite brewery, Hill Farmstead. His enthusiasm for the beer was palpable but his enthusiasm for the people who call Greensboro home was even stronger.
While his connection to so many started with a beer, you would not hear him speak of it often. His passions included his family, sports, hip-hop, and, most of all, social justice. He wore his heart on his sleeve and unapologetically spoke about the injustice that minority groups faced. The beer in front of him was merely a vessel to foster conversation, provocative thought, and connection. It is with this in mind that we offer you a way to remember this great soul by supporting some of his passions, through the beer he enjoyed sharing with friends.

(Example: $20 = 4 numbers)
If any of your numbers are drawn, you are a winner.
Prizes will not be assigned, but selected in the order in which winners are named. For example, if your number is drawn first, you can select any prize you’d like. The second winner can pick any prize except the one the first winner has selected.
Winners will select their prizes online after the drawing is complete and do not need to be present for the live drawing to win or claim a prize. Only one prize may be selected per winner.
A shipping label will need to be provided by each winner to collect prizes. Prizes may also be collected in person if winners are near the prize location.
