What’s the lay of the land?     We’re taking over the two parking lots behind our Flatiron Park brewery + will have the tap room taps flowing inside. We’ll have two stages out back and music on our front patio outside the tap room, as well – that’s 3 stages (8 bands throughout the event). There’s a kids; zone and and 7 food trucks outside in the lot + The Mighty Burger inside the tap room. There will also be Big Little Sound Silent Disco inside the tap room from 4:30-8:30 pm. In addition to the live music outside, we’ll have two beer ticket booths and three outside bar stations + the tap room, local vendors and sponsors to check out, games, live art, a photo booth (ShutterBus), chill zones, and a shade tent.

Will your tap rooms be open as usual that day?     Nope – it’s all about the big event that day! Our Lee Hill tap room will be closed, and our Flatiron Park tap room will be open during the same hours of the fest (2-10 pm), but will operate like a part of the event (beer tickets, only fest beers available, no tasters, no growler fills).

Where will I park?     We will have signage directing guests to a few neighboring lots to accommodate parking. There is also street parking around our Flatiron Park neighborhood. We are expecting lots of attendees, so carpooling, riding bikes and taking ride shares is highly encouraged!

What happens if it rains?     We’ll get down any way… the event is rain or shine! Bands will do their best to perform under their covered stages during light rain when it’s safe and not too wet. We are bringing in a big tent for some shelter in the parking lot + our tap room space will be open. The shows will stop if there’s any lightning nearby and all guests asked to go inside or wait it out in cars for safety.

Are dogs allowed?     Due to the nature and size of the event, dogs are NOT permitted. We love ‘em too, but please do not bring your four-legged friends or we will not be able to allow you to enter the festival. Service dogs will be permitted with proper paperwork only.

How will I buy beer?     Beer tickets! There will be a Beer Ticket Booth on your left upon entering the fest, as well as a Merch Booth tent that will  both sell Beer Tickets – both booths will accept cash or card. Redeem your beer tickets at any bar for a beer (no cash or credit cards will be handled at our bars). 1 ticket = $6. All beers/Spiked Snowmelt = 1 ticket.

What beers will you be serving?     To keep things green, we’re serving predominantly in 12 oz cans to ensure recyclability with our Green Team and the City of Boulder. Draft options are available in our tap room and with select styles in VIP.

Will there be seating, or can I bring my camping chair?     Limited seating will be available around the food court area and we’ll create a few little “chill zones” in our main lot, but feel free to bring your own camping chair with you.
