Beer is the name of the game for this weekend, and festival-goers can pick their suds of choice from over 60 local and national brands, including Cowtown’s very own Good Mood Brewery and Common Crown Brewing Co. 

Don’t forget the gamut of distilleries, ready-to-drink companies, ciders and meaderies to sample from. When it’s time for a snack sesh, impress your tastebuds with goodies from 30+ local pubs and restaurants like BretzelKing (hello, pillowy soft European pretzels) or Salvadoran street food masters Que Chivo!

After-party time
