About 2 weeks before the fest…..it takes a long time to “pull” together

Sorry, this is a 19+ event and we’re not set up for pets.

Food is NOT included with the ticket; however, there will be great beer-friendly food for sale from food trucks and local restaurants on site.

Even with the best planning, breweries and distilleries can occasionally run out of very limited or popular product. As well, some smaller producers are unable to attend all four sessions and these are noted on the drink list where possible. Luckily, with more than 300 unique brands to choose from you’ll never go thirsty!

Absolutely! We couldn’t make the festival happen without the support of our volunteers. If you’re interested in lending a hand, please see the Volunteer page for details.

Unfortunately, no. The festival has a strict no re-entry policy, so please plan accordingly.

A designated smoking and vaping area is located in the venue.

All Festival guests are expected to drink responsibly and ensure they have a safe way home. Any guest who is intoxicated before entering the event may be denied entry. Any guest found intoxicated within the event will be refused further service and asked by management to leave the venue without refund and may be subject to further consequences.

This is a 19+ event. All attendees must carry a valid ID as they may be asked to produce it for verification. A valid ID is a driver’s license, government-issued photo ID or passport.

All bags will be subject to inspection to ensure the safety of our customers.

The festival loves designated drivers! The fee is $20 at the gate, and you get a DD wrist band. Leave a piece of ID with our team, which you can collect when you return to have your DD band removed. We have low /no alcohol beers, and ciders available at many of the stands, and Soberish, Chill St., and Connected Craft, also have booths on site for you to enjoy!
