Just a quick reminder that TODAY (Tuesday, July 12, 2016) is the Waitsfield Pop Up Sale for SIPtemberfest Tickets!!

We will post to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram with our exact location & time a little later. But it will be in Waitsfield and it will be this afternoon/evening.

It’s hot. You’re sticking to yourself. You need a distraction. We recommend cracking open a cold Vermont craft beer, imagining fall colors in the leaves and crisp air all around, and reading this post about the 2016 SIPtemberfest ticket sales plan!

We are going to do local Pop Ups and Online sales again this year for the Saturday Beer Tasting portion of SIPtemberfest, September 24, 1-5pm. The Friday Meet The Brewers Dinner tickets will be available online only. For all ticket types there will be a maximum ticket purchase of 2/person.

• Pop Ups! We will host two Pop Up ticket sales at which people can directly buy up to 2 tickets to Saturday’s Beer tasting. We will sell up to 300 tickets in this fashion. These will be CASH ONLY SALES!  We will be in Waitsfield on July 12 & Waterbury on July 19. We will post the specific locations and timeframe, within one hour of sales opening. This is to prevent ‘liner-uppers.’ (Hint: Sales will take place in a convenient location, sometime between 4-8pm.) So hang out at a good watering hole in the area and wait for us to tweet the deets.
• Online! We will sell 450 tickets online, July 26 at 7am. These will be first come, first served, and we expect these to sell out very quickly so don’t dilly dally. The link for online sales will be available at a later date.
• Assorted Giveaways! We will have several other chances for people to win tickets, for example, right now there’s a Localvore Today contest where you can sign up for the chance to win tickets to all of Meg’s Events beer fests: Betty’s Beer Fest, Hop Jam & SIPtemberfest! The best ways to stay in the loop about these opportunities and more are to sign up for Fresh SIPs so posts like this go right to your email, and to follow Meg’s Events on Facebook.

Thanks all! Have a fun and safe rest of your Memorial Day Weekend and please remember to raise a pint in honor of those who fought and died for our country. Cheers!

 

Apologies for the delays getting this out on the webpage – it’s a long story that involves too little sleep, not enough coffee and an unfortunate mishap with a can of Heady Topper…

First, some stuff:

• Gates open at 1pm. You may start lining up around 12:30 but please, please, PLEASE don’t line up much earlier than that. If you arrive earlier, go for a chairlift ride or a hike because the weather looks amazing!
• BRING YOUR ID!! REPEAT: BRING YOUR ID. And bring either a print out of your ticket or pull it up on your smart phone with this handy-dandy Eventbrite app.
• General Admission tickets will be scanned. All others (winners, industry etc, will go to WILL CALL.)
• Yes you can bring your pregnant wife who will be your designated driver. (Though it’s really her call. Buy her some ice cream from Scout’s Honor!)
• Yes you can bring your underagers (but please note: there are NO kids activities so while you are welcome to bring them, please be mindful that this isn’t exactly a kid-friendly event.)
• Yes you can bring your leashed and well-behaved dog (but please be mindful of your dog at all times and be prepared to pick up after them because no one likes stepping in that $#!*.)
• Don’t Forget the PROST PARTY at HOSTEL TEVERE to follow! They are hosting killer music and a killer beer line up so you’ll definitely want to check them out!!
• Our Free Shuttles are FULL! If you have a reservation you are super lucky and will be riding in style – we will send an email out shortly to confirm. But if you were on the wait list, we are full.
• HUGE thanks to our generous sponsors: Mehuron’s Market, Craft Beer Cellar – Waterbury, Hostel Tevere, Mad River Glen, New Duds and of course Meg’s Events! Please thank all of these folks for helping to make SIPtemberfest so awesome!
• Swing by the Mad River Path Association booth and enter their raffle! They have some beer-geek-alicious prizes up for grabs! We are happy to team up once again with the MRPA and support their healthy mission and we encourage you to support them as well!

And now…
