Let’s face it, the forecast for Saturday sucks and the bad weather could not come at a worse time. It’s one thing to have rain throughout the week, but rain on a weekend? Get serious. And of course it had to come this weekend. The weekend that Valley beer enthusiasts have been waiting for all month. The Lehigh Valley Brewfest takes place this weekend at Hugh Moore Park in Easton. Though the weather is going to be awful, Brewfest organizers have got everything under control. According to the Brewfest website, the Festival will be taking place “rain/snow or shine in enclosed tents”. Beer lovers, feel free to breathe a sigh of relief.

Tickets are required for the fest and can be ordered online or purchased the day of the event. Advance general admission tickets cost $30 or $35 at the door, or for those of you with extra money to throw around you can attend the connoisseur tasting for $75. A ticket purchase also includes a Lehigh Valley Brewfest souvenir mug that can be used at the Fest for tasting purposes. The general admission tasting takes place from 2-6PM. Admission gets you unlimited tastings from Allentown/Bethlehem Brew Works, Flying Fish, Harpoon Brewery, Stoudts, Tröegs, Weyerbacher, Boston Beer Company, Dogfish Head, Victory, Yards and many more!

Beer nuts, don’t let the weather keep you inside this weekend! The Lehigh Valley Brewfest only happens once a year, weather should not factor into your decision to go. Head on down to Hugh Moore Park and sample some of the best local and regional brews in the country!
