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…

We have received a lot of questions about what is allowed into the Summer Beer Festival, especially with the extremely hot weather conditions expected. Here are some general guidelines to follow:

NO GLASS ALLOWED!
NO OUTSIDE ALCOHOL ALLOWED!

You are permitted to bring in water, softdrinks, snacks, and other items of “reasonable” size (backpacks, coolers, chairs, blankets, umbrellas, etc.). Any bags or coolers will be checked for prohibited items.

Please be mindful of our Zero Waste Policy when packing any of your own items. Everything we use at the event needs to be either compostable or recyclable. We recommend the use of a plastic or stainless steel “refillable” water container that can be filled at any of our potable water stations. The most common non-recyclable items are snack wrappers (chips, candy, energy bars, etc). Please refrain from bringing these.

We want you to be comfortable and enjoy yourself at our events. Please remember to stay hydrated with fluids other than beer! A couple of sports drinks throughout the festival is highly recommended!

Cheers,
Eric

You can no longer purchase tickets ON-LINE for the Saturday session of the Summer Beer Festival. There are still Saturday tickets available at many of the Ticket Outlets listed in an earlier MASH post. Please be sure to call ahead to make sure a location still has tickets before making a trip.

Tickets ARE STILL AVAILABLE for the Friday Session on-line AND at Ticket Outlets. Get ‘em while they last! If Friday’s ticket availability changes during the week, this post will be updated.

See you in Ypsi this weekend!!

Cheers,
Eric
