How long is the festival? The festival runs from 3pm to 7pm. Our permit does not allow any pouring after 7pm. Please do not beg, plead, coax, implore, beseech, wheedle, or cajole for more beer.
Do you need volunteers? Every festival needs knowledgeable volunteers for setup, pouring, silent auction, etc. Please contact us at 812-283-3988 to volunteer.
What about children or animals? The event is for 21 and older, so please leave your children at home. Please also leave your pets at home. A beer festival is no place for Fido!
