MEF Byway Brewing Takeover Raises Funds for Grants

Thank you to all of our supporters for another great time at Byway Brewing. We are glad everyone enjoyed an exclusive Mustang Stout and gourmet food as we took over the entire brewery. We loved the opportunity to hang out with friends and supporters of Munster schools.

See you next year for another super fun event!
