Are designated driver tickets available?
We have released a limited number of Designated Driver tickets for those who wish to join in the carnival fun, but not drink.

Can I ride my bike there?
Absolutely. Just promise you’ll walk the bike home.

Will there be non-alcoholic drinks available?
Of course. Water will be available for free and soft drinks will be available for sale for your hydration pleasure.

Can I bring my own water?
There will be plenty of water available on site, so no need to pack anything (and plus, it’s free). No outside food or beverage will be allowed on site.

Food. What about food?
No carnival would be complete without some great food! There will be a great assortment of eats for sale that you and yours can enjoy.

Are pets allowed?
We love pets, but for the safety of all living things, no pet of any kind will be allowed on to the festival site.

Is there an age requirement?
We love children, but children and beer don’t really mix. You must be 21 years of age or older to enter. No exceptions.

When will the beer list be available?
It’s up now! Take a look at our beer page.

Will I get a commemorative beer glass this year?
Commemorative glasses are first come first serve, so get there early!

Will there be gluten-free beers to sample?
Yes. We are scouring the market for these and they will be included in our roster of beers.

I don’t love beer, but I am coming with some friends who love them all. Will I find anything I like?
We like to think that they are all great as well, but we know that not everyone is the same. Our list of over 100 beers will include something for everyone – from the novice to the beer geek. In addition to the beer, there will be a limited amount of cider and other libations on site.

What kind of games will there be this year and what do they cost?
Some of your favorites and some new ones as well! We are nearly doubling the amount of carnival games to play and the best part is most will be for free. There will be prizes available to win at all of the games – from the silly to the super cool.

What if it’s cold?
Thankfully, we live in the South and it doesn’t usually reach Arctic temperatures, but be sure to dress warmly. Layers! And plus, a couple of beers will warm you right up.

Will there be plenty of restrooms?
Of course! In case you’re worried — we will have even MORE restrooms than last year. And for those of you lucky enough to snag VIP tickets, you will even get your own VIP restrooms in a separate area of the event.

Besides getting in an hour early and private restrooms, what else does a VIP ticket holder get?
What all true beer lovers really want: exclusive access to some of the best craft brews available (and we may throw in a few extra surprises…ok ok we WILL throw in a few extra surprises).

Can I bring a cooler?
Nope.

A lawn chair or blanket?
Sure.

Argh…I have a question that isn’t on this list.
