Have you never been to a beer festival? Here are some questions from a person (Lauren Alberti) who has never been to a beer fest, maybe the answers to these will help you out.

  • 1. Is there a limit to how much beer I can drink?
    You are there to sample multiple beers, in different flavors and styles. Is there a limit? You should always use the rule of moderation. If you appear to be intoxicated, you will no longer be served any beer.
  • 2. Is it a pet/kid friendly environment? 
    This is a 21 and over event. No one under the age of 21 will be admitted. Pets are also not allowed, unless they are a service animal.
  • 3. What other kinds of entertainment will be there?
    There will be live music (bands will be performing) and of course, there will be lots of people watching too!
  • 4. What should I bring with me? (Do I need cash, sunscreen, etc?) 
    You will want to bring some money to purchase food and souvenirs. As far as sunscreen, the forecast is partly cloudy and a high of 80. Sunscreen sounds like a great idea. Also, remember to wear comfortable shoes and wear comfortable clothing that you will not be upset if there is beer spilled (accidentally of course) on it.
  • 5. What can I do there if I do not want to intake alcohol? 
    There is a bottled water station as far as beverages. You will also need to enter the festival with a designated driver (DD) ticket and wear a DD bracelet during the event.
