Another year, another beer.

The annual HopSauce Festival proved to be an unsurprising success in its sixth trip around the sun. Hordes of craft beer connoisseurs and spice savants took to Veterans Memorial Park in Beach Haven June 1 for a day of warm weather, cold beer, hot sauce and live music- all likely ingredients for a first-rate, sudsy Saturday.

HopSauce, hosted by local businesses Jetty and Spice It Up, marries two delicious and complementary concepts: beer and hot sauce.
