Now that the outlets below are out of tickets the only other chance to get tickets will be Thursday, February 23rd when the Brewers Guild will auction off 10 pairs of tickets someplace in Grand Rapids (location TBD), with the proceeds being donated to charity. Pay attention to the MASH in February for an announcement about that event.

The Festival takes place Saturday, February 25th from 1-6pm at Fifth Third Ballpark in Comstock Park, just north of Grand Rapids. Enthusiast Members are allowed entry ONE HOUR EARLY and the event takes place rain, snow, or shine! For more information about the Winter Festival click HERE. Participating breweries and a list of beers will be posted sometime in January.

Cheers!

As you may have already heard, tickets for the 2012 Winter Beer Festival are selling at a RECORD PACE! After only 36 hours we have already sold 1500 tickets online, which is creating some challenges for alloting tickets to member breweries and other outlets. Most places that sold tickets last year will get tickets again this year…but in most cases, considerably fewer tickets. The outlets should have tickets to sell by early next week, but we have no idea how fast the online tickets will continue to sell. There are only 6,000 to sell TOTAL - so 25% of them are already sold! If we sell 6,000 tickets online by next Monday we will NOT be selling any tickets at the outlets. We STRONGLY SUGGEST purchasing tickets online to guarantee getting a ticket.

Once we have a list of which breweries and stores have tickets, it will be posted here.

Cheers!

We have reached our limit for on-line ticket sales for the Detroit Fall Beer Festival. You can still buy tickets at the Retail Outlets listed in a prior post on this website WHILE THEY LAST. Please call ahead to be sure the outlets still have tickets before making a trip.

Non-drinking Designated Driver tickets will be available at the gate.

Here is a list of the breweries that will have a table at the upcoming Detroit Fall Beer Festival, October 22nd at Eastern Market. The beer list is NOW COMPLETE! There will be 309 different beers from 51 Guild member breweries. Pick out your favorites now…
