Beer festivals are commonplace. With the rise in craft beer, it seems that everyone wants to attend an event where they can walk from one booth to the next, sample beer, and discover new breweries while making new friends in the process. Many of these beer festivals have been around for multiple years and even decades, but for every long- running beer festival, a new one is making its debut. Such is the case with Beyond the Pints Craft Beer & Music Festival, scheduled for Saturday, May 13, 2017 in The Woodlands, Texas.
Scenic Locale
Beyond the Pints runs from 1:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. and will take place in Town Green Park, located at 2099 Lake Robbins Dr, The Woodlands, TX.

First Time for Everything
Beer festivals have come a long way and the craft beer revolution is largely to thank. Before craft beer, there wasn’t much to celebrate in the world of beer and festivals usually centered on other things, with beer served only as a footnote. Today, the beer landscape has changed completely as local breweries continue to open at a rapid pace and consumer tastes shift toward more specialized, flavorful beer. These changes have given cause for celebration and it’s not surprising that beer festivals are now so common.
Some beer festivals have been around for a long time, but even the long running festivals had an inaugural year. Beyond the Pints Craft Beer and Music Festival is new to the scene and this first ever event is poised for greatness, with more than 45 breweries serving some of their best beers and musical talent flooding your ears with the sweet sounds of local tunes. It’s going to be a great festival, so follow the links above, purchase your tickets, and join us in The Woodlands, Texas for an unforgettable day of music and beer.
