Here’s some insider tips to make sure your 2019 Puckerfest experience is everything it can be:
Puckerfest runs all biercafe hours of operation each day during the celebration. Special times when brewers are in-house are TBD!
Kiddos (those under 21) are allowed in the biercafe until 7 p.m. (They are always welcome in the shop).
In addition to a lot of rare draft beers we usually don't see around these parts, many of these brewers also sent package options, so make sure to also check out our blog for those new arrivals (updated Tuesdays and Fridays). And get here early for those, as they no doubt will go fast!
Bring friends, share your beers. It's a great way to sample more of these special offerings.
Speaking of which, we will have wine and cider on tap, not to mention a great variety in the shop you can bring over to drink on-site, so bring your friends who aren't beer crazy, too. (Just make sure your bartender opens that bottle or can for you -- it's the law!)
Remember to eat! Our on-site food cart, Monk's Deli, is going to be cranking out some great grub to help soak those sour suds. Check out their menu here!
Have fun! It's going to be an awesome Puckerfest -- so prepare to pucker up!
