Absolutely! Kids are welcome to join the fun. Children aged 10 and under do not need a ticket to attend. Sunday is especially family-friendly, with activities tailored for all ages from 1-5pm. Please note, children must stay with their adult(s) and be well-behaved throughout the event to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

We introduced pre-orders during Covid for safety and convenience. But in recent years, most folks still added more beer at checkout—making the process less efficient. Our goal is to keep things simple, fair, and easier to manage during a busy weekend. 

Rest assured—we’re still here to help you get your beer to the car!
