Brew Fest FAQs

Maine Brew Fest tickets get you unlimited samples from the available beers on tap in the tasting tent. However, just because you can drink as much as you want, doesn't mean you should. Drink responsibly so we can all have a safe and fun event!

Yes, Sunny's will be open slinging tacos and other savory options.

Maine Brew Fest is a 21+ event, so kids are not allowed inside of the tasting tent unless they are in a baby carrier. We do not recommend bringing strollers into the tasting tent. Kids should not be left unsupervised outside of the tasting tent.

Dogs on leash are allowed in the tent. Please bring bags to pick up after them.

Yes, but you will need to purchase a Designated Driver ticket.

General Taster and Designated Driver tickets are available the day of the event until sold out. VIP only offers a limited quantity of tickets, which usually sell out before the event, so we recommend buying early to ensure your access!

When you arrive at South Ridge Lodge, head inside the main entrance next to the wooden bear. Our team will have a check-in area at the desk to check your ID and give you your wristband to enter the beer tent. Registrations are non-transferable.
