This Saturday, May 31, we will kick off ticket sales at our home, Mad River Glen, in Fayston, VT. The General Stark’s Pub will be open with an awesome dinner menu and lots of tasty beverages to choose from. So you can double down on the satisfaction level by getting your SIP tickets and a full belly in one effort!

Weather permitting the SIP Team will set up on the porch from 4:30-6:30pm. Otherwise we will be in the cafeteria. There will be up to 150 tickets available for $55 each, including entry, 10 tastings & a souvenir glass + a bonus voucher for a super dope, limited edition SIP Sticker Sheet featuring the artwork of Julianna Brazill! If you miss this sale, Sticker Sheets will be available at the merch tent at SIPtemberfest while supplies last. Remember: all pop up ticket sales are CASH OR VENMO ONLY.

If you want to get tickets online, we are working with a NEW ticket platform this year, Humanatix. We’ve decided that we want to try as hard as we can to be the change we want to see and so we figured in addition to partnering with our awesome non-profit, For the Love of Dogs, we wanted to work with a ticket platform that dedicates 100% of profits from booking fees to charity. Online tickets are $60 each will go live at 8am on Sunday, June 1.

But there’s more…!

On June 14, we plan to exuberantly celebrate Flag Day with a second Pop Up Sale, this time at Blackback Pub in Waterbury, VT, our favorite watering hole. These tickets will be similar to our first Pop Up: we will have up to 150 tickets available for $55 each, including entry, 10 tastings & a souvenir glass. But we will announce the details for this sale’s bonus voucher soon – we need one more beer with Ehren to fine tune our plans!

So if you aren’t already signed up to get these posts emailed directly to you, do so now! And follow us on Instagram to keep the SIP vibes coming. Stay tuned for more updates and SEE YOU SOON!

I don’t know about you, but something about this rainy weather, pulling on my Sorels and a SIP hoodie makes me think of fall and drinking beers with 800 of my favorite people, on the slopes of Mad River Glen.

So while May continues to give us Fall vibes, it feels even more appropriate to announce a bunch of SIP info you’ve been chompin’ at the bit to hear! So pick out a beverage and cozy up with a blanket and your device to read all the latest SIP Info:

Apologies that you will all now have that Swedish one-hit-wonder’s signature song stuck in your head for the rest of the day. But it’s the Final Countdown! And while we might not have the spectacular hair styles or outfits or pyrotechnics of these 80s glam rock stars, we are otherwise living for that epic synthesizer solo, ready and pumped to drink delicious beer on a beautiful crisp day, slope side with our SIP family!

What does the Final Countdown to SIPtemberfest mean?

• These are the FINAL DAYS to get your SIP tickets!! If you haven’t secured your tickets yet, this is the time. Online sales CLOSE Wednesday Sept 11 at midnight. We will NOT have ticket sales at the gate (except Visitor Tickets – click here for details.)
• Our Brewer Line up is FINAL! We have an awesome selection of beer as well cider, mead and even milk! We also added a – chocolate booth – to our line up this year. They will be serving sample of chocolate that “pairs surprisingly well with beer.” We are looking forward to testing that theory! (The full beer menu will be released next week – stay tuned.)
• We have FINAL list of PUPPIES that will be available for adoption at SIP! Over two-dozen snuggly, smooshy, fluffernutters will be eager to lick your face off and find their fur-ever homes! If you’re open to adding a furbaby to your family, we highly suggest 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!
• Finally, we could actually use 2-4 more Volunteers to help us set up on Saturday morning. Interested? Contact us or sign up today!
