"Bringing live music back to the brewery means that we are able to gather with our community that has been so incredible to support us through the last two years," said Phillips Brewing founder, Matt Phillips, in a statement Wednesday.
This year's Phillips Backyard concert series will be the first time live music has returned to the brewery after three years due to the pandemic.
