The clock is ticking and if you haven’t purchased your tickets yet, now is a VERY good time. The Valley Forge Beer Fest is THIS Saturday and features breweries from all over the globe! Rogue, Magic Hat, Sly Fox, these are just a few of the breweries on the scene. You can find the full list by clicking here.
More than 70 breweries will be filling the Expo Center, serving up samples of their proudest brewing achievements—more than 100 beers in all. And for those that have looked at the list, fear not, all breweries featured at the Event are available for purchase in the state of PA. So if you find something new you like or that stands out, it’s available, it just might be a hard find. You might find yourself becoming quite the Beer Hunter after this Event.
Also feel free to bring a bag that day to collect hand outs or trinkets from some of the breweries. Having a bag to hold some souvenirs or keepsakes from the breweries might help you remember the name of that brew you had at the start of the Event. There’s going to be 50 breweries and over a 100 brews. It might become hard to keep track of them all. Just know, all bags will be checked upon entry.
The Valley Forge Beer Festival will have two sessions: 12:30-4:00pm and 5:30-9:00pm. A limited number of tickets will be sold. Once the event sells out, no additional tickets will be available for purchase. And word on the street is, this event WILL sell out. SO purchase them while they’re still available. Only $40 if you order them online today or $60 at the door.
Tickets include admission to the festival, a souvenir tasting glass, an opportunity to attend the event’s programming and the freedom to enjoy a 2 oz. sample of any of the beers at the festival. Designated driver tickets are $10 each. Of course, no one under 21, including designated drivers, will be admitted and all attendees must show valid photo ID for entry. Food will be available for sale.
The event is produced by Starfish Junction and BeerHeads.com, producers of the award-winning Philly Craft Beer Festival, named one of the “Top 10 Beer Festivals in America” by Forbes Traveler and honored by Philly Beer Scene Magazine as the Best Beer Fest of 2011. The event is sponsored in part by www.PhillyBeerEvents.com, Philly’s local beer calendar.
Star Junction will be back in Philly for the 6th annual, award-winning Philly Craft Beer Festival. This one sells out weeks in advance. Consumers are encouraged to sign up for local beer alerts at www.phillybeerevents.com to be among the first to find out when tickets go on sale for this show. They’ll also be launching their successful Coffee And Tea Festival NYC in Philly in 2012.
Snob or Beer Fans in general, this event is for you. From the response we’re seeing, let’s hope for another one next year! In the meantime, mark your calendars and we hope to see you there!
This isn’t a pub crawl or Phoenixville event persay, but it is a drinking event in our backyard at the Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks.
