Dovetail Brewery Mayfestiversary Pre-Party STEIN

On Friday, May 23, we're having an Mayfestiversary pre-party, where we'll tap a gravity keg of our Maibock to kick things off! This isn't just any gravity keg tapping, however —we got our hands on 200L pitch-lined gravity keg made by the same Munich coopers that make the barrels for the Munich Oktoberfest. We're rolling it out again in the spring for our 9th birthday weekend.

TO GET A POUR from this special gravity keg tapping, you'll need a sweet stein, which you'll be able to use all Mayfestiversary weekend.

What your ticket gets:

• ONE 40.5oz Bavarian-style stein with 2025 Dovetail Mayfestiversary spring design
• ONE pour of beer off our 200L gravity keg filled with Maibock during Friday night's festivities (tapping starts at 5pm) -- this is first come, first serve! If you happen to miss out on the gravity keg, we'll fill your stein with Maibock from a regular ol' keg.
• $20 refills of this stein on DOVETAIL BREWERY* beers during Mayfestiversary weekend, May 23-25. This is quite the deal, if we say so ourselves. (Note: All Dovetail beer, except our spontaneously-fermented beers and slushies. Your tummy wouldn't want 40.5 oz of Kriek anyway)
• Stein pickup will be Friday, May 23 in our biergarten, starting at 4pm. If you can't make the pre-party, you can pick-up your stein any time during the weekend at the VOLUNTEER CHECK-IN area located in our taproom.
• Steins are limited to 100, so you'll be part of an exclusive club—The One Liter Club! With membership, you will enjoy discounts when you bring your stein into the taproom for Gravity Keg tappings throughout the year, beyond Mayfest weekend!

This purchase includes a $5 donation to The Friendship Center, our partner for our Festiversary weekends. Since partnering up with The Friendship Center in 2018, we have been able to help provide the equivalent to more than 2.5 million meals to our neighbors in need.

Anyone not interested in a stein purchase can still party with us on Friday night! We'll have a beer trailer open, offering full menu of Dovetail beers, cider, and N/A drinks, pretzels, sausages from Beard & Belly, and a special performance by Tuba Force at 6pm.

If you have a stein from OKTOBERFESTIVERSARY 2024, bring it!—We'll also honor a $20 fill all weekend long! Let's welcome the new members of the One Liter Club!

* Even though we throw the party on Saturday and Sunday with our buddies at Begyle Brewing, to reiterate: you can only refill this stein with Dovetails.
