Montesano Brew Fest Highlights

Featuring beer, wine, cider, food, live music, and a cornhole tournament, the event is sponsored by Five Star Dealerships, OlyPen, J&J Extreme Auto Body, and Summit Pacific Medical Center.

Brew Fest pre-sale tickets are available starting September 1 for $25, with day-of tickets selling for $30. You’ll want to get your tickets early, as the first 350 tickets sold include 4 drink tickets and a much-coveted souvenir glass. For those wanting to indulge a bit more, extra drink tickets may be purchased at the rate of 4 for $20. Each ticket gives the purchaser one, 8-ounce beer, wine, or cider, or two tickets to fill up the 16-ounce souvenir glass.

“The Brew Fest gives people the opportunity to try all different types of beer, wine and cider that they may not have tasted before,” Wharton says. “Each vendor brings at least one variety, and most bring two or three of their best-sellers, so people are able to pick which ones they want to try.”

Brew Fest attendees must be 21-plus to gain admission to the event. A valid state or federal ID will be required at the entrance.
