What do I get with my VIP ticket?
As far as we’re concerned, the only way to attend a beer festival is as a VIP. You’ll get the red carpet rolled out for you and experience the royal treatment. Here are a few of the perks you’ll receive:
- Early Event Admission at 3:00PM
- Unlimited Beer Tastings
- VIP Tent Access
- Souvenir Glass
- VIP Only Tastings
What do I get with my General Admission ticket?
General Admission ticket holders receive:
- Event Admission at 4:00PM
- Unlimited Beer Tastings
I'm not a beer drinker can I still buy a ticket?
Everyone is welcome to the Brewmaster’s Invitational Beer Festival, even those who are not avid beer drinkers and especially those who are designated drivers. For those of you who are either assuming the responsibility of getting your friends home safely or those who would rather not partake in the beer tastings, we do have a Designated Driver’s wrist band. They are available for purchase at the gate the day of the event for $10. The Designated Driver wrist bands allow you General Admission event access. If you’d like the Brewmaster’s Invitational VIP experience (VIP tent access, early entry, complimentary appetizers…) you must purchase a VIP Ticket.
Are kids allowed?
The Brewmaster’s Invitational Beer Festival is 21+ only. Get a babysitter! Have some fun!
Can I bring my dog?

- Dogs must be leashed at all times
- Dogs are not allowed inside the cruise terminal (with the exception of service animals)
- Please clean up after your dog (no one wants to step in that)

Are there ATM machines at the beer festival?
Yes, there will be on-site ATM machines. The majority of the food and beverages for sale will be cash only.
What else can I expect besides great beer?
The kind of people who drink good beer are the kind of people who like to have a good time. And let’s face it, you’re one of those people. There will be plenty of live entertainment plus more shenanigans than you can shake a stick at.
- Live music
- Art exhibitions from local artists
- Giant yard games (cornhole, connect 4, etc…)
- Food Trucks
- Vendors
What kind of food will you have?
Great beer and savory food go hand in hand. We’ll have some of the best food trucks in town, plus a few of awesome local restaurants. Don’t worry, there will be no shortage of deliciousness.
