FAQs

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WILL BREWERS BE PRESENT?
Many local brewers will be present to discuss their brews.   However, since this festival features 100+ breweries from all corners of the country, time and logistics do not allow all brewers to attend.   Volunteers will be pouring these beers.   See our Volunteer information page if you are interested in joining the fun as a pourer. 
 
WHAT SIZE ARE THE SAMPLE POURS?
Pours are one ounce.   Why not more?   This is not a small street fest with limited selections, this is a true beer festival on an epic scale.   With over 250 brews to delight your taste buds, 1oz per style would total over 16 full pints.   
 
WILL THERE BE FOOD AT THE FESTIVAL?
Food will be available to purchase if you like, however, we always recommend that festival goers eat a large meal before imbibing.
 
CAN SOMEONE UNDER 21 ATTEND?
