The event, which has grown from about 3,000 attendees its first year to over 27,000 last year, will be held again outdoors at Bader Field. The field covers over a million square feet of festival goodness.

The festival takes place over two days (June 3rd & 4th this year) and features hundreds of different beers from a wide range of local and international breweries.

Whether you're a fan of light lagers, hoppy IPAs, or rich stouts, you're sure to find something you'll love at the festival. In addition to beer tastings, there are also plenty of opportunities to learn more about the brewing process, meet the brewers, and purchase your favorite beers to take home.
