Cheers to Beers! The second annual Asbury Park Beer Festival is set to take place at Asbury Park’s Convention Hall on the legendary Asbury Park Boardwalk on Saturday, January 26, 2013 – the week before Super Bowl! Featuring “craft” beers from all over the world as well as the iconic retro beers of a drinking time gone by, the Asbury Park Beerfest, presented by 95.9 FM WRAT Radio and the Asbury Park Boardwalk, is sure to be a beer lovers paradise.
For this unique event, there will be two sessions for beer enthusiasts (21 and older) to partake in: 12pm-4pm and 6pm-10pm. Price per session is $30 in advance and $35 at the door on the day of the event, and includes an Asbury Park Beerfest sampling glass with ticket purchase. Both sessions were sold out last year, so early purchasing is encouraged. Tickets go on sale starting Friday, September 28, 2012 at 10:00am.
The Asbury Park Beerfest features some of the finest, high-end brews in the world side by side with the very popular “Your Old Man’s Bar” classics that were offered at the inaugural Asbury Park Beerfest. The hottest category in craft, ciders, will also be highlighted- so there is something for every taste. In additional to the exceptional beers and ciders, participants can enter beer sports, such as “Masskrugstemmen” (a beer-stein-holding contest). 95.9 FM WRAT Radio will be also have on-air talent present and will be broadcasting live for an exceptionally good time.
