  • Make sure to bring a designated driver with you or plan for a cab or public transportation
  • Wear a pretzel necklace to help keep your sampling stamina up!
  • Quadruple check that you have your ID... even if you're 102 years old. In order to enter, you must present a valid ID showing you were born on or before February 21st, 2005.
  • Have your tickets with you... whether they are in hand or on your phone, you must have your tickets in your possession to get inside the festival
  • Wear comfortable shoes; you will be on your feet a ton. There will be seating but it will be limited.
  • Bring cash, we can't guarantee that all of our vendors and partners will be able to accept credit cards
  • Eat! All of these delicious samples will leave you hungry... plus, you need that protein to keep you going.

DON'T

  • Please don’t bring children. For the safety of your child, as well as for your own enjoyment. Plus, they won’t be able to get past the doors.
  • Don’t bring any outside food or beverages.
  • Don’t break your glass, that thing is your golden ticket to endless delicious beer. Care for that glass as you would your firstborn.
  • Don’t go too fast! No one wants to be “that guy” at the beer festival, so sample responsibly.
  • Don’t forget to try your favorites before last pour of the first session at 3:50pm. No beers will be served after those times.
  • Don’t expect to take any beers with you. It’s state law — no beer can leave the premises.
  • We can’t stress this enough, please do not drive after enjoying the festivities. Call a cab, call your mom, call Jennie at 867-5309, get a dog sled, anything, but please don’t drink and drive.
