Our LHBS sponsors a big brew day on a public plaza in downtown Grand Rapids. I'd like take my electric rig to this event next spring, however, I doubt that the 240V, 50A circuit I could use is protected by GFCI.

When I examined the socket at the event, it looks like a NEMA 14-50 socket, and the breaker was a 50amp standard, not GFCI.

My question is, could I wire up a typical 50 amp GFCI protected Spa Disconnect panel to go between the existing socket and then plug my rig into that disconnect panel?

Absolutely.
Excellent answer.

Here is how it would be wired:
