Pour at a Booth

Festival booth registration has reached capacity and is now closed. If you have questions about festival booths, please email us.

We make the process as easy as possible by providing access to the MicroStar keg program, offering no-cost kegs for festival beers and ciders. We also help reduce your shipping costs by offering multiple nationwide drop-off points to consolidate shipments and deliver them to the festival on your behalf.
