Pour at a Booth
Pour your beverages at a booth and get your brands in front of thousands of fans over two days.
Festival booth registration will take place in two phases. All participating breweries and cideries will be required to staff their space for the duration of the festival.
Phase one registration is currently open for all Brewers Association member breweries or cideries that have won an award in the GABF or World Beer Cup competitions in the last five years (2020-2025). Breweries registering in this phase will be required to pour at least one award-winning beer or cider at the festival. Breweries or cideries registering in phase one will receive a free festival booth space and four credentials for their pouring staff.
Phase two will open in late spring 2026 for all Brewers Association member breweries and cideries. Breweries or cideries registering in phase two will receive a free festival booth space and four credentials for their pouring staff.
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.
