“This annual event is a wonderful combination of a good time for a good cause,” said Battleship Cove Executive Director Brad King, who explained that proceeds would go toward funding restoration projects for the vessels at Battleship Cove. Mr. King went on to say, “Last year’s Brewfest was really great. It brought in a new demographic of visitors who haven’t visited the museum in years.”

Tickets are $35 in advance; $40 the day of the event. Ticket price includes 20 beer samplings, 5 oz. souvenir mug, scrumptious food from local restaurants, live music, and admission to all the exhibits at Battleship Cove. This is a rain or shine event. No one under the age of 21 will be admitted.

This event is possible thanks to the generosity of Colonail Beverage, Graphix Plus, Saber TV, and local eateries.
