Mark your calendars. The Lancaster Craft Brew Fest is coming back for another year. If you haven’t attended in the past, do yourself a favor and book your tickets now. It’s a lovely event featuring brewers of all sizes from across the Mid-Atlantic.

You can sample everything from Cox Brewing, which is run out of an industrial garage in Elizabethtown, to storied Penn Brewing in Pittsburgh. Last year, Penn brought some leftover seasonal beer, but I drank it anyway. I’ll try anything they make.

If you’re really into craft but not into crowds, book the VIP tickets. The event fills up fast, but you can make a quick round of all your favorites in the hour you have before general admission begins.

Food trucks will be present including the famed Fridge pizza pickup, so you won’t go hungry. If you can’t walk there like the Where’s Pom Team, bring a designated driver or use Uber. We want everyone to go home safely.

Cheers!
