Straight To Ale's Highway To Ale Trade Show & Brew Fest will be held Saturday, August 9, 2014. Following an invite-only industry trade show from 3 PM until 6 PM, Straight To Ale will open the doors to 250 local craft beer lovers who will be able to sample more than 30 beers from the 2013 Rate Beer Top Brewer in Alabama. This will include year-round favorites, seasonals, specialty bombers and high-gravity occasionals, numerous cask ales created just for the event and some rare one-offs. All in all, it will be the largest array of STA beers EVER. Live music for the evening will be provided by Mike Slaten, and food will be courtesy of Drake's Huntsville and On-On Tacos. Admission tickets will be $10 plus associated fees, and will include a commemorative event glass. Individual drink tickets will be sold separately (by law) for $1 each, and can be used toward multiple pour sizes. Lots of cool STA schwag will be available for purchase, and the game room and Monkeynaut cornhole boards will be open for business. Come join us for what is sure to be the first of many awesome brewfests at Straight To Ale! * The STA Taproom will be closed all day for the event and the usual 2 PM tour will not be held.
