Tips & Advice

  • Bring your own glass, stein, mason jar or coffee mug, because this year's fest is BYOG to help cut down on plastic.
  • Bring your ID and leave the kids at home, because Holiday Brew is strictly a 21+ event at Pioneer Courthouse Square.
  • Get your last pour in early, because serving stops half an hour before the fest closes on both days.
  • Dress warmly for an evening outdoors at the Square, even with the heated tents set up around the fest.
