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!

SIP IT IF YOU CAN

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!

April Showers bring May Showers

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:
