You have questions- we have answers! Our 6th Annual Ashland Ale Fest is happening TOMORROW (squee!) Here are the questions we are getting asked, and the answers:
1. Can I bring my child/my baby/my 20 year old DD to Ale Fest?
Nope. People 21 and over ONLY are allowed within our event.
2. How do I get tickets?
Tickets are available here: www.ashlandmainstreet.org/event-details/ashland-ale-fest-1, and I would get over there now. This event has sold out every year for the last three years, and it is getting close to doing so again.
3. What do the tickets cost, and what do you get for them?
Shine-y VIP ($80): This ticket allows you to enter the Ashland Ale Fest at 3 p.m., an hour before everyone else, 5 extra drink tickets (for a total of 20), the commemorative Ashland Ale Fest tasting glass to proudly display on your mantle, a food truck voucher to help you get through all 20 beers, and entry into our exclusive tasting room (ooh!), to sample a flight of four moonshines from our friends at Ohio Shine Co.
VIP ($65): You get everything listed above, but no moonshine (wah wah).
Shine-y General Admission ($65): This ticket gets you entry to Ale Fest at 4, the commemorative Ashland Ale Fest tasting glass to proudly display on your mantle, 15 beer tickets, which is still plenty of opportunity to explore our amazing local craft brews, and entry into our exclusive tasting room (ooh!), to sample a flight of four moonshines from our friends at Ohio Shine Co.
General Admission ($50): Just like the Shine-y admission, but with no moonshine.
DD ($15): You get a food voucher, all the non-alcoholic drinks you can drink for free, and most importantly, the knowledge that you are ensuring that your friends and family who enjoy craft beer get home safely.
4. If my friends got VIP tickets and I got General Admission tickets, can I come early with them?
Absolutely. It will cost you $15 to upgrade. You can do that at the door.
5. Is this a DORA Day?
Nope. Beers stay in their respective home bars.
6. What else ya got?
We have ci**rs, we have live music, we have pretzel necklaces, and we have food trucks, in addition to the aforementioned yummy local beer. In addition, we have the knowledge that your ticket is doing more than helping you have the best afternoon EVER; you are also supporting the growth of our downtown!
Enough chit chat- get those tickets, and we will see Saturday!
