Thanksgiving weekend usually signals the beginning of the holiday season and one event that makes the perfect way to kickoff the fun and entertainment is the Brewmasters Craft Beer Festival. Scheduled for Galveston, Texas November 24- 26, Brewmasters Craft Beer Festival features multiple events in one for a full- fledged, beer- drenched festive experience.
What’s Going Down
Brewmasters Craft Beer Festival runs the gauntlet, from beer education, to competitions, to tastings and beyond. Here are some of the events on the schedule for 2017:
Friday, November 24
- Nach- Yo Ordinary Tequila Tasting presented by Xochitl– Haven’t you always wanted to know more about tequila and agave? This event helps you get in closer touch with the wondrous plant and the adult beverage that has thrilled humans for centuries. Not only do you get to learn about and sample tequila, you even get to pair it with unconventional foods, namely cheese.
- Brewmasters Friday Night Pub Crawl- Galveston isn’t just a place where cruise ships embark to the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. Galveston is also home to several highly memorable watering holes and this pub crawl will take you to several of them by bus.
Saturday, November 25
- Texas Brewery Tasting Tour– A meet and greet of sorts, the Texas Brewery Tasting Tour showcases some of Texas’ finest up-and-coming breweries, complete with samples and an opportunity to meet the men and women behind the recipes.
- BrewHaHa Grand Tasting– The one not to miss, this is the definitive event at the Brewmasters Craft Beer Festival. Hundreds of beers will be flowing, some of which are unique to the festival and cannot be found elsewhere.
Sunday, November 26
- Brew-B-Cue presented by Prairie Organic Spirits– On this final Brewmasters Craft Beer Festival day, bring along the kiddos for a barbecue Texas style, complete with live tunes and a chance to meet others as the festival winds down.
Side Activities
The above events are only the beginning at Brewmasters Craft Beer Festival. This year’s lineup also includes a beard competition, seminars on food and beer pairings, craft beer news and trends report, and much more. At every turn, there will be delicious beer to sample and vast knowledge to learn and share, not to mention cool, immensely likeable new friends just waiting to be made.
Buy Your Tickets
Brewmasters Craft Beer Festival is one of the greatest beer festivals in the United States. Selected by USA Today as one of the top three beer festivals in the United States, Brewmasters Craft Beer Festival is one of the few three- day beer festivals in the country and one of the best for those who want to not only drink beer, but also learn a little in the process.
Like with past years, the Moody Gardens Hotel & Convention Center will host the festival and serves as the perfect place of lodging for enjoying the event to the fullest while resting in comfort and safety. There are other hotels in the Galveston area as well and rooms tend to sell out quickly, making it imperative that visitors take action and make reservations as soon as possible
Tickets to the Brewmasters Craft Beer Festival are sold in various packages and one of the things I have always liked about this event is that you can buy tickets and attend precisely what you like best. Maybe the pub crawl sounds cool but you’re not too keen on the Sunday Brew- B- Cue. Perhaps you want to attend only the Texas Brewery Tasting Tour and BrewHaHa Grand Tasting. Whatever you like, you can get. Just select the specific events you wish to attend. And yes, there is a Weekender Pass that gets you admission to all of the events, all weekend long.
Brewmasters Craft Beer Festival is one of the nation’s most entertaining beer- centered occasions. It’s a nice way to start the holiday season in style with a weekend of entertainment, leading up to the busiest shopping time of the year. Tickets won’t last, so visit Brewmasters Beer Festival online and purchase your tickets today.
