Emerald Coast Beer Festival

A VIP ticket entitles the bearer to early admission to the VIP room at 5 p.m. on the day of the tasting. The VIP room serves special beers, including several high-gravity selections, not available to general admission entrants. In addition to local distilleries serving their offerings and a mead tasting, the VIP room includes a variety of delicious appetizers and a buffet meal service. The room is comfortably air-conditioned with private restroom facilities. VIP’s may enter the main venue any time after it opens at 5:30 and return to the VIP room at will until closing at 8:30 p.m.

If you don’t know any current members of the Escambia Bay Homebrewers Club, join one of our meetings held two to four times each month.

Meet our club members and purchase a discounted ticket, and while you’re there, feel free to sample our homebrewed craft beers. We are always looking for new members!

Attendees must be 21 or older and have a valid picture ID.

Unfortunately, the event license does not allow the admission of anyone under the age of 21, including infants and minor children. Please make arrangements for all minors before attending the festival.

We all love our pets and like to take them places, but for everyone’s safety, the Emerald Coast Beer Festival cannot allow pets. The beer fest takes place both indoors and outdoors. Outdoors, the beer fest gets very crowded, and pets may be stepped on or frightened by the large number of people and react negatively. The indoor festival areas are in restaurants and other places where food is served the FDA does not permit pets in such places; however, we make all legally-required exceptions for service animals as per the ADA guidelines.

The events take place rain or shine. The only cancellation would be if a hurricane were imminent. No refunds will be issued; however, tickets will then be honored at next year’s festival.

Your beer festival ticket includes unlimited 2-ounce samples of all brews offered by participating breweries, brew-pubs, homebrew clubs, and distributors.

No, ticket prices are the same for all attendees.

Smoking is allowed only in the outdoor courtyards at Seville Quarter.

The first 2,500 attendees receive a festival tasting glass. Other breweries or vendors may give away coasters, koozies, glasses, or other items. Some vendors will have items for sale.

Food stands will be open during the event. During and after the event, Seville Quarter’s Oyster Bar Restaurant and other bars will be open for mixed drinks and food options.

Sorry, but we only have enough spots for the four food vendors grandfathered in every year. If you want to be added to our backup vendor list or would like to be considered for a primary food vendor, contact us at info@emeraldcoastbeerfestival.com.
