2024 Beer Fest Theme:
Superstitions & Lucky 13

In honor of the thirteenth annual Beer Fest, we’re pleased to announce this year’s theme: Superstitions & Lucky 13. Prepare for a day brimming with eerie omens. Seek out the face painter to add the finishing touch to your ensemble, and don’t miss the photo booth’s return to immortalize all the glamorous and ghastly visages!

Food

Food will be available onsite from several food vendors. We’ll also have Beer Fest favorites peanuts and pretzels available for purchase.

Music

Entertainment for the 2024 Beer Fest will be provided by Kayla McKinney & Lazr Luvr!

Kayla McKinney

Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, and Carrie Underwood were big influences on Kayla's early musical journey. Cline’s “Crazy” was an early influence, and Underwood’s “Jesus Take The Wheel” helped to set Kayla on the long road of country music; a road that has since blossomed into a full-time career as a regional country artist and a catalog of popular original songs.

Lazr Luvr

Lazr Luvr has been rated the #1 all-round favorite band in WNC by Mountain Xpress. They come with popped collars, teased hair, fingerless gloves and the BEST tributes to timeless favorites. On Vocals there is Raphael Morales & Hope Griffin, Guitar there is Eric Congdon, on Bass there is Walker Astin, Synth Wizard there is Brad Curtioff & Drums there is Sam “The Hammer'“ Frame.

Games & Fun

There will be a face painter on-site to paint your face a ghoulish design! Price will vary on design!

It wouldn’t be Beer Fest without games to test your skills and have some fun.

  • Returning this year is “Hoppy Hammer,” our version of the traditional German game of skill that puts contestants head to head as they drive single nails into a log with the fewest strikes. This game has proven to be a real hit with friends and couples as they compete for bragging rights and awesome beer-themed prizes.

  • This American classic bean bag toss game challenges players to throw cornhole bags across a rectangular court onto a facing platform. Bags that land in the hole are worth 3 points. Bags that land on the platform, without going in the hole or touching the ground are worth 2 points. Bags landing outside of the platform are worth 0 points. The first player/team to reach 21 points or more wins.

  • This oversized version of the popular table top game involves dozens of wooden blocks stacked in levels of three in a tower. Players take turns pulling one block from any level (except the one below an incomplete top level) and placing it on the topmost level. The game ends when the tower falls on a player’s turn. The opposite player during a tower fall is the winner.

  • Competitors are required to hoist a filled stein with a straight arm, for as long as possible. If you sip, spill, or bend your arm, you’re out!
