Do you like beer? Do you like to support New Jersey? Do you think our brewery laws need to improve?
If you said "damn it, YES!", calm down and stop shouting at us. We already agree with you. But we think we should all get together on July 6th of this year for what is looking like the most epic beer event in the history of NJ. Brewers from throughout the state and beyond are coming together to put on one hell of a show with the craziest beer list to ever exist at the same time and place in this fine state. Why are they doing this, though? Because they want you to have more access to their beers. They want you to have a world-class experience when visiting breweries - like you can get in our neighboring states. They want you to be rewarded for the support you've given them over the years. And, well, yeah... they want you to give them some money to help make all that happen. But in exchange for that money, you're going to go to one hell of a party.
Where: White Oak Park, 235 Baird Rd, Branchburg, NJ
When: July 6, 2024
VIP: 2pm-3pm
General Admission 3p,-7pm
How: We recommend taking a ride share service or utilizing a designated driver. Always enjoy well made beer responsibly.
Why: We already explained it! But if you want more, all proceeds from this festival will be used in efforts to improve the laws and regulations that impact NJ's breweries and other craft beverage manufacturers.
Who: Check our ticketing site regularly. As breweries confirm their attendance and beer selection, we will update the site regularly - but expect to find some excellent rare beers, whales, and other awesome liquids that have never made it out of the tasting rooms before, in addition to tons of award winning NJ ales and lagers.
Please note all beer will be limited and are not guaranteed throughout the festival. The breweries are contributing some of their finest liquids to this event so its not only possible but likely that some selections kick before the end of the VIP session. While we are ensuring there will be enough beer to last throughout the entire festival, we cannot guarantee any specific beers or breweries will last for the duration. We recommend buying VIP tickets, and arriving early.
No outside food, drink, children, large bags. No one under the age of 21 including babies. Must have picture ID. No Refunds.
VIP Entry begins at 2pm. We will start scanning at 1:45pm.
