Charleston Beerfest is back this weekend with over 65 participating breweries and a live music lineup that includes Empire Strikes Brass, Kanika Moore and the Brown-Eyed Bois, and Dustbowl Revival.
The festival allows beer lovers to sample plenty of local favorites plus new IPAs, reds, ales, stouts, sours, ciders, and many more styles from around North and South Carolina, Georgia, and beyond. Charleston Beer Fest is from noon to 7 pm on Saturday, October 26, at Riverfront Park in North Charleston.
“We couldn’t be prouder of the list of amazing craft breweries! Not only do these breweries make great beer, but each of them is generously supporting our community and the work we do each and every day,” said Richard Reams, director of development and marketing for Palmetto Community Care. “We have our best mix yet of returning favorites as well as new breweries, so everyone is sure to find one of their favorite beers and keep adding to their list with new ones. We worked our butts off to partner with more breweries than ever before, and I truly think it has paid off — we are so pleased to showcase the regional craft beer community at Charleston Beerfest.”
VIP attendees can also access exclusive beer samples in the VIP Retreat on the River. A limited number of VIP tickets are available and include a commemorative festival mug, early festival access at 12 p.m., a custom VIP tasting glass, and access to the VIP Oasis with shaded seating, misting fans, exclusive activities, free VIP-only beer tastings, light snacks, and private restroom trailers.
General admission tickets include festival access, a commemorative festival mug, and beer tastings. Ticket prices will increase at the door. In addition to all the craft brews, festival attendees will be treated to a wide range of food trucks and a Vendor Village featuring local artisans and craft vendors.
