There’s a whole ding-dang kids’ zone that’s going to be so rockin’ awesome your little ones won’t want to leave. We’re talking bouncy houses, face-painting, and a whole lot more. Plus, the food on deck is shaping up to be a food truck extravaganza. Because what pairs better with a beer and a September day but the best food truck treats the area has to offer?

The registration fee is $50 and commemorates the event with awesome team t-shirts. This is one win you’ll talk about for decades to come, so don’t sleep on your skills, and be sure to sign up!
Like tunes with your brews (and who doesn’t?!)? Don’t worry, we’ve got a great lineup of bands to keep you bee-bopping while you’re beer hopping.
