Egg Harbor AleFest Returns Sept. 19

Egg Harbor AleFest is returning for the fourth time on Sept. 19. Once again this year there will be more than 40 brewers and 120 different crafts beers represented. It draws many of the small and independent Wisconsin brewers, like O’so Brewing, Wisconsin Brewing Co., Stone Cellar Brewing, Stillmank and Badger State. The number of samples included in the general admission ticket is unlimited.

Beer lovers may roll their eyes at what seems like more mainline offerings from Alaskan, Shock Top, New Glarus, and Sierra Nevada, but the lineup has enough breweries you don’t see in every local bar.

There will also be music from the O2M (One Too Many) Band from Milwaukee. The band tunes up and starts playing with the VIP admission at noon, and unplugs the amps at 5 pm (when the last call is served). During the O2M Band’s mid-afternoon break there will be a bluegrass band stepping in to keep the music going.

A variety of tasty food will be available to purchase.

General admission tickets start at $40 online. There is a VIP option, and this ticket provides unlimited food to accompany the unlimited tasting and early entry. The location is Harbor View Park in Egg Harbor. Free trolley shuttle service will run from 11 am to 7 pm. Click here for more information.
