For the first time since the onset of the pandemic, Rare Beer Fest is returning to Rhinegeist's taproom in Over-the-Rhine.
The festival, which launched in 2017, brings together more than 50 breweries from across the country, serving "rare and sought-after offerings...not normally accessible to the Ohio market," per a release.
Rare Beer Fest is divided into two sessions: noon-4 p.m. and 5-9 p.m. Oct. 29.
Tickets are $55 general admission and $85 VIP and are available at etix.com. Admission includes 12 sample tickets and a branded tasting glass and tote. VIP levels up with access to five additional breweries, a T-shirt and food. Thunderdome Restaurant Group will be providing food for the event.
“We’re very excited for the return of a full-scale Rare Beer Fest,” says Jon Colusard, general manager of the Rhinegeist taproom, in a release. “We’ve had some exciting breweries on our invite list for the past few years, and we’re finally at the point where we can make it happen. We have over 50 fantastic breweries lined up, including 10 locals."
