TICKETS

Unique links were directly emailed to your festival contact with instructions on securing your tickets for the event. This year, we’re offering the following, ALL of which must be secured by your team online in advance of the event:

PERMIT FOR SERVING ALCOHOL

On your behalf, the Guild secured your permit for this festival by sending one blanket permit request to the ATC. This was accomplished by using one of your 45 annual “festival” permits. If you have questions about this, please let us know.

FESTIVAL MAP

A map is here with the most up-to-date layout of the festival layout. This is where you’ll find your booth location for labeling your beer and to see where you’ll be set up for the event.

LOAD IN AND LOAD OUT

Saturday, April 13  |  10 a.m. – 1 p.m. (vehicles must be out by 12:45 p.m.)

Loading In

Load-in on Saturday, April 13 is from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., and all vehicles must be out by 12:45 p.m. No vehicles will be allowed in after 12:45 p.m. Two vehicles max may load in will be allowed into the Mill.  Breweries, vendors, and sponsors arriving after 12:45 p.m. will need to carry, cart, or request assistance from volunteers with golf carts to load in. All booths must be set up by 1:30 p.m. To make load-in easier and to minimize confusion, please allow yourself extra time for any delays. Traffic around the Mill can be busy, and late arrival can cause difficulties for you and others.

Loading Out

Please plan to send a representative to the Brewers’ Hideout for a brief pre-fest meeting at 1:00 p.m.

Participating breweries should bring no less than 30 gallons of product to the event, earning a $375 stipend. Stipend checks will be mailed by April 24.

You’re welcome and encouraged to bring a standard-sized popup tent – up to 10’x10′ to use in your booth space, especially if the weather is at all misty.
