Warm weather is finally here, and with it inevitably comes excitement about the Summer Beer Festival, happening July 26 & 27 this year at Riverside Park in Ypsilanti.
Tickets go on sale May 1st @ 10am - so mark your calendar and get yours before they sell out!
Since we're doing things a bit differently this year, here are some important announcements regarding ticket sales to keep you in the loop.
2013 ticket sales will be online only! We will
not be selling tickets through member breweries or other retailers this year. This is to make the process more manageable and efficient for both Michigan Brewers Guild staff and member breweries, as well as to limit scalping. You can
buy tickets beginning May 1 on our website.
Pre-sale for Enthusiast members: Enthusiasts with memberships valid as of 4/26 have been invited via email to participate in an online pre-sale of Summer Beer Festival 2013 tickets one day prior to tickets going on sale to the general public. The pre-sale will begin online the morning of Tuesday, April 30 at 12am and close that night at 11:59pm.
Each invitee may purchase up to two tickets for each day of the festival. As an added value to Enthusiasts, the Michigan Brewers Guild will also be waiving the convenience fee if you purchase during the pre-sale.
If you are an Enthusiast with membership that was valid as of 4/26/2013 and you did
not receive an email invite to participate in the pre-sale, it may be that we don't have an email address on record for you, or that your email address has changed. If this is the case, please
update your contact info with us.

As always, thanks for your support of the Michigan Brewers Guild and MI craft beer, and we look forward to seeing you at the Summer Beer Festival!
