Admission is $8 and includes How do you LagerFest? glassware and two beer tokens. Foothills Deli will be grilling up some popular barbeque eats and more beer tokens will be available for purchase throughout the event. Enjoy your lager as you get down with some miniature golf, corn hole, and other classic backyard games. Grab your grandpa’s lawn chair and join us for an afternoon full of lager love!

Family Friendly! Kids are welcome to come in for free (the entrance fee is for beer glassware and tokens), and we encourage them to play our yard games, including a 9 hole mini-golf course!
