When is this happening?
The festival will take place over one session on Saturday, January 26th, 2018. The session will run from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Pours will stop 10 minutes before the end the session.
Is there an age limit?
All attendees must be at least 21 years old with a valid ID.
Please no pets, children, or strollers. Do not bring any coolers, canopies, umbrellas, or tables. Bags are permissible but are subject to security inspection upon entry into the festival. No weapons of any kind are permitted.
What do I get with my admission?
The Designated Driver ticket gets you access to the festival, but you won't be able to drink. Upon entering, you'll receive a ticket that's redeemable for a complimentary t-shirt from our merch stand. You'll be free to purchase food and other merchandise.
The two General Admission ticket options get you access to the festival, a limited-edition taster designed by Sam Taylor, a brochure that includes a map of the festival, and the allotted tasting tickets.
The VIP ticket includes one bottle of the limited-edition Horus x Hop Culture collab beer (Owl's First Hoot, 1/300), a limited-edition VIP glass designed by Sam Taylor, a brochure that includes a map of the festival, and a wrist-band good for unlimited pours. There will not be any additional bottles of Owl’s First Hoot for purchase. 300 VIP tickets will be sold and each person will get 1 bottle. Bottles must be picked up at the venue before leaving the festival grounds. No bottles will be stored after the event and must be picked up in person on 1/26/2019, In addition, no other beer will be available to go, no crowlers or growlers.
NOTE: If you don't have a VIP ticket and run out of tickets with the package you purchase, you'll need to buy additional tasting tickets if you want more beer. Tasting tickets purchased in advance will be given out upon check-in, or you may purchase tickets at the event. Tickets cost $4 for one ticket, $21 for 6 tickets, and $36 for 12 tickets. One ticket is redeemable for 1 x 5-ounce pour.
Will there be food?
Several food vendors will have food available for purchase. Vegetarian options will be available. More details to come.
Who will be pouring the beer?
We're working to make sure that a representative from the brewery is on hand to pour beer, answer questions, and have fun. In most cases, this will be the head brewer or founder.
Which beers will be served?
The beers at the fest are extremely fresh and limited release, so it's hard to predict brewing schedules well in advance. However, we'll release the beer lists in the week leading up to the fest as they become available.
Will there be enough beer?
Some breweries will kick their kegs before last call, but we will do our best to avoid this.
