Tomorrow

OMG tomorrow is SIPtemberfest!

Tomorrow we’re all going to be up at Mad River Glen, drinking beer, petting dogs and having a grand ol’ time with all our SIP-family! We are so excited!

Here are a few Pro Tips to keep in mind to maximize your fun having:

Bring your ID & Ticket! We will take print outs but we can also scan your phone so save some paper. Wifi should be fine but take a screenshot just in case.

Ticket Options We do not have SIP tickets for sale at the gate. But we usually have a few people in the crowd looking to sell a ticket or two. We will have a meet-up list at the front gate for those looking to buy/sell. Otherwise you can still attend and pet the pups and eat some food and listen to some music and have a great time with a $5 Visitor ticket! Proceeds go to our non-profit besties, For the Love of Dogs – cash is preferred!

If you are on the “might get a puppy train’, we highly recommend you check out the For the Love of Dogs webpage and fill out their application in advance. You can also get a look at all the adorable adoptable dogs they have! We will have 20 + adoptable PUPPIES at SIP and all of these snugglemuffins are superduper eager to meet you!

If you are bringing your own dog to SIP, please make sure they do their business before entering. Nobody likes stepping in that $h*t. Dogs must remain leashed at all time. There will be dog water bowls around the event – dog owners are responsible for treats. and any necessary clean up. Misbehaving dogs and humans will be asked to leave so please be responsible and make good decisions.

Our Featured Artist this year is Julianna Brazill and we’re pretty sure she nailed in when it comes to creating custom SIP art. What do you think?? Your beer menus will have some of her work on them and the Posters will be available for sale – some signed by the artist, in our HopShop! Pick up this year’s SIP Tshirt and other awesome SIP & Beer merch while your there!

Our Brewer Line up is FINAL! We are sad to say a couple breweries had staffing issues and had to cancel late in the game. But we are hopeful to have them next year! And we have some exciting new brewers joining your SIP favorites this year! There’s also great mix of non-beer options too including hard cider, mead, hard seltzer and back by popular demand, milk! Look for the QR codes at the event and scan for the most updated menu, our 2025 Scavenger Hunt and more SIP Info.

Food will be available from the Mad Snack Shack, Paprika Catering and new this year, Hook & Peel Pizza!

We are also stoked to welcome back Lowell Thompson who will be rocking out at 1pm followed but festival favorites, Ragged Company at 3pm.

If you are taking the FREE Shuttles from Waistfield or Waterbury and did not get an email from us, or if you want to sign up last minute for one, please contact us.

That’s the tea! Be sure to follow us online: SIP on Instagram

See you soon and Cheers!

Dad Wants SIP Tickets

Let’s be real. We all know dad wants SIP tickets for Father’s Day this year. So the question is: what’s the best way to get them??

Get them online! We are using a new ticket platform, Humanitix, for online sales this year. So you can still have the convenience of purchasing SIP tix from your device whilst sitting upon your favorite barstool! These tickets are $60 but like all ticket platforms, there are fun processing fees tacked on to the price. However we switched to these guys because they are a not-for-profit organization, directing 100% of profits to a range of education programs in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. I don’t know about you, but I’d way rather my fees go toward books anytime! Online sales will last until tickets sell out, which usually happens by the end of August.

Or maybe get dad’s SIP tickets -in person- at our June 14 SIP Pop Up Sale at the Blackback in Waterbury?? This is our final Pop Up Sale for this year so even if you’re not getting tickets for dad, you might want to consider getting your tickets at this event! We will be there from 2:30-4:30pm, selling up to 150 tickets and we only accept CASH OR VENMO! Tickets are $55 each – no extra fees – and in addition to entry, 10 tastings & a souvenir glass, each ticket comes with a voucher for a wicked cool sticker sheet featuring the artwork of Julianna Brazill! But wait – there’s more! The first 25 people to purchase tickets at this sale get a BONUS souvenir SIP glass from a past year, complete with a pour of your choice right then and there! Let us buy you a beer for making the effort to come see us in person!
