Are you a newbie
to the huge beer festivals that take place all summer long? Maybe a friend
invited you to the summer kick-off festival at a local brewery and you have no
idea what it is or what to expect. Don’t fret! With this “How to Beer Fest”
guide, you’ll be ready for a beer fest of any size.
Tip #1: Pace
Yourself
You’re going
to be at the beer fest for a while, so you’ll want to make sure you take it in
stride, especially if you’re at the type of festival with unlimited samples.
Tip #2: Eat
and Drink Water
While you’re
enjoying all the delicious beer, make sure you eat food and drink plenty of
water. Drinking on an empty stomach is never a good idea! If you’re allowed to
bring a bag into the event, stash a bag of pretzels and a water bottle in there.
Tip #3: Be
Ready for Long Lines
The lines to
grab a beer can get long at times, but you’ll meet plenty of new friends while
you wait. Long beer lines also means long lines for the bathroom, so keep that
in mind, too.
Tip #4:
Enjoy the Activities
The
activities can vary depending on who’s throwing the party, but most festivals
have games, live music, and maybe even food trucks. Festivals like these are
perfect to go to with a group of friends and you’ll have a lot of fun
socializing and enjoying the entertainment.
Tip #5:
Bring Cash
Don’t leave
your house without cash and your ID!
Tip #6: Be
Prepared for the Weather
If it’s an
outdoor event, you are going to want your sunglasses and a hat. If it’s an
outdoor event and it’s raining, make sure you bring a rain jacket.
Tip #7:
Dress Accordingly
Wear
comfortable, casual clothes. You’re going to an event where people are drinking
all day long, so there is a chance you’ll end up going home with some beer on
your clothes. Leave your 4” heels at home for this event. Sneakers are ideal
since you may be walking around all day.
Tip #8:
Transportation
Before the
day of the event, do some research to find the best public transportation to
take; or go with a designated non-drinking driver. Be responsible!
Tip #9: Have
Fun
This one is
easy. You’re going to a beer festival. Enjoy it!
