The Berkshire Craft Beer Festival is a charity fundraising event, built around great craft beers, wonderful food and entertainment. Unlike some festivals, the BCBF does not have "per drink" tickets, however we are a tasting and beer education festival. We are not the place to consume mass quantities off beer, we follow the same rules as your favorite pub. ?Guests receive a 5 oz handled mug on entry which is yours to keep. Sample size is 2.5 to 3 ounces. There will be too many beers to try them all, so plan your visit. You'll get a map at entry and we'll publish the beers as each brewer finalizes their lists. Drink responsibly, we have free coffee and cold drinks from our wonderful sponsors. This will be a great day, but everything in moderation. No dogs, pets, outside food or beverages, large bags, bad language or behavior, you know the drill, please be sure to read the Legal Stuff at the bottom of the left column, also on the ticket sales site. Beer Festival Hours: VIP Entry 12:00 Noon General Admission Entry: 1:00 PM VIP Tickets have limited availability and are $50 General Admission Tickets vary in price by purchase date and start at $30 Event is an outdoor festival, held rain or shine.
