MIDDLETOWN, CT — There will be 47 home brews vying to be the best in the first Connecticut Beer Idol event Saturday in Middletown.

The home-brew competition will take place from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Mattabesett Canoe Club, 80 Harbor Drive in Middletown, on Oct. 22 as part of the fifth annual Brew with a View event.
