 “Our idea behind Deep Dive was to curate a festival with one core objective: craft beer discovery! Creating a well curated beer menu for each day, giving good beers from local breweries a platform to showcase their beers and giving the craft beer enthusiast a chance to sample all these beers through tasting flights.” – Nakul Bhonsle, Founder of Great State Aleworks.
