Have no fear, y’all! The team behind your favorite Vermont beer fest is getting busy putting together what we think is going to be the best SIP yet!

We have a bunch of new improvements – some small and some big – all designed to make your SIP experience better than ever. But we can’t tell you what they are yet because that would ruin the surprise! So hold tight – we will be releasing all sorts of tasty information for you shortly including who will be at this year’s SIP, when tickets will go on sale and more.

You can sign up for FRESH SIPS (top right hand side of this page,) to get these updates emailed directly to you, and/or  “like” Meg’s Events on Facebook so get the latest updates in your FB feed, and/or you can follow SIPtemberfest on Twitter! Thanks for your patience and we’ll get you your treat soon!

Cheers!

A HUGE thanks to the SIPtemberfest Team of Volunteers, all our awesome vendors and of course all you COOL KIDS who came out and drank beer, ate, danced and had fun with us, rain be damned! I met some very cool people (and dogs,) tried some great brews I’d never had before and didn’t really mind getting beer spilled all over me. In fact, I’m pretty sure this was my favorite SIPtemberfest to date and I cannot wait to do it all over again next year!

And in case you feel anything like we do this morning…
