Tickets on sale for Wisconsin Beer Lovers Festival

Tickets are now on sale for the eighth annual Wisconsin Beer Lovers Festival, to be held on Saturday, June 17 (Father’s Day weekend) from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Bayshore Town Center in Glendale.

Hosted by Bayshore Town Center, DRAFT Magazine, Welcome to Glendale (the City of Glendale’s Convention and Visitors Bureau) and the Wisconsin Brewer’s Guild, the Wisconsin Beer Lovers Festival is the premier all-Wisconsin craft beer and tasting festival, featuring more than 100 beer selections from more than 40 craft breweries throughout the state. Each of the participating breweries will be paired with local chefs, Wisconsin cheesemakers, or one of several brewpubs and restaurants to create unique tasting portions designed to complement a variety of unique craft beers available for sampling.

“Glendale is proud to welcome craft breweries from all over Wisconsin to this annual festival,” said Jeff Hamilton, president of Sprecher Brewery in Glendale and member of the Wisconsin Brewer’s Guild. “We love seeing people returning to the festival year after year, as well as first-time guests.”
