Q: Can I use cash to purchase beverages?
A: During the official beer/cider tasting period of 12 noon to 5 pm, only the RED & BLUE tickets provided with your ticket package may be used to purchase tastings or other beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic, alike). After 5 pm, however, the main bar will remain open where tasting tickets will continue to be honored and a cash/credit bar will be available to those not wanting to purchase additional tasting tickets.
Q: What if I am a DD, don't drink or am under 21?
A: This year we've begun offering a very economical $5 General Admission pass for those either under 21 or acting as Designated Driver and not partaking of alcohol. GREEN Tickets will be available for sale for purchase of sodas available at the main Beer Garden bar.
Q: Can I use my tickets to buy food?
A: The great on-site food vendors (Pizza Posto, Fire Dawgs BBQ and Cayuga Lake Creamery) accept cash and credit card but are not directly affiliated with the BREW FEST! and so, therefore, do not accept our tasting tickets for their products.
Q: Is there camping available?
A: At the time of your arrival, if you are interested in tent or RV camping, let the nice people at the ticket counter know. The fee for tent camping is $20 RVs are charged $35. The ticket counter folks will provide you with a small, numbered wooden stake that you can prominently plant at your camp site or beside your RV to indicate you've paid. Parking attendants will direct you to locations where you can set up your tent or park your RV or motor home. All campers must be packed up and ready to depart by 12 pm, noon the following day (Sunday). There are no utilities/amenities provided with your admission to camp. Please be aware there is no dedicated security provided for campers and neither the Boathouse Beer Garden nor Renato Management (property managers) are to be held liable for lost or damaged items.
Q: Do you have to buy a ticket to attend?
A: We've redesigned BREW FEST! so that the ticket packages work for everyone.
