Over 200 craft beers in the sampling event. Come out and enjoy the best of craft beers and live music!

All Tasting Tickets include a tasting glass that will be provided on the day of the event. The regulations of the new social district in Downtown Hickory prohibits the use of glass serving containers, so the tasting glasses will be hard plastic.

This festival offers plenty for everyone, from inexperienced beer novices to hardened beer fest veterans anxious for something unusual.
