Do I need to be at the festival for Setup/Breakdown?
-
- If there is only one session you must be there for breakdown and setup.
- If the festival has two sessions and you are pouring in session 1, you have to be there to help set up, you can leave any time after the session is over (or stay if you like). If you are pouring in Session 2 people don’t have to show up until just before the second session starts, but they must stay though breakdown and load out (you are more than welcome to attend session 1). Session 2 brewers need to make arrangements with someone from session 1 to have them bring their kegs in the morning.
Can I bring food or non-alcoholic drinks to the festival?
Yes, you can bring a small cooler with sandwiches, non-alcoholic beverages and chairs.
