Once again, the Granddaddy of them all, The Missouri Beer Festival presents the most delicious celebration of craft beer you can imagine.  We return to the gigantic Holiday Inn Expo Center to toast national brewers, Missouri brewers, and of course the full fleet of local brewers that are helping Columbia become a serious force in the world of craft beer. VIP Ticket holders will be allowed in one hour early, at 12Noon.  And this year VIP holders get an exclusive MO Beer Fest Premium Pint Pub Glass to take home as part of their package. Doors open for General Admission Ticket holders at 1:00PM.   There’s a newly-designed Keepsake Sampling glass for everyone, Live Music, plenty of food vendors to buy a snack or a full meal, and probably more girls in hot tubs.  Hey, it is a party! All attendees will also be given a Missouri Beer fest bottle cap as a voting token.  Use it to vote for your favorite beer (if you can decide!).  We’ll have a Bronze, Silver and Gold People’s Choice Award for our brewers. New this year, we’re adding a HOME BREW DEMONSTRATION to our party. We thank our volunteers and sponsors, and offer our sincere gratitude to the brewers.  After all, without them, we’d all be very thirsty! Additional details at www.MissouriBeerFestival.com
