There will be 1500 people and 35 breweries. Breweries will give out 2 oz. samples - the only payment you make is to enter the festival. There will be merchandise available for purchase but preordering your shirt on the website will ensure we have your size. In addition to breweries and delicious food, we will have 3 bands playing during the fest and free fermentation seminars where you can learn about fermented foods from around the world! There will be shuttles to transport you from the ASU campus to the fest and, if you drive to the fest, you can leave your car at the festival grounds over night if you are unable to drive home or get a DD. Expect limited taxis and mobile car ride services in Boone during the event. Once in the festival the beer, music, and seminars are free. Food and merchandise are available for purchase with cash only - due to the location of the festival, the internet is unreliable. Water will be available for free. High Country Beer fest is a 21-and-up event due to alcohol consumption. No children will be admitted. Dogs & pets are not permitted into the festival, on the bus, or shuttles. WEBSITE
