Great, we'll give it a try then. According to the site, "Standard tickets include a commemorative sampling glass and four (4) free tasting tickets"
Is there a non-standard ticket or can you get (buy) more tasting tickets somehow?
The "non-standard" ticket is for a DD. They can get sodas or water. You can buy additional tickets once you get there or later in the day. Don't wait too late in the day though.
You get there, get your glass and your tickets, and they'll ask if you want extra tickets, and you do. You go to each beer booth and they usually say how many tickets per sample or full sized glass a beer costs. I recommend using your tickets to get samples to find which beer you really love. Then go back to that booth later and get a full sized glass.
Also, if you already "know" the beer being offered, save your tickets for one you've never tried before. You can always go back to that beer later if you want. Next, bring cash for food and water and the other vendors. You cannot buy beer with cash though, or haven't been able to in the past.
Is there really only 6 beer vendors?

Ok sounds like it keeps getting a little better each year then. Big B has had pretty much everything available from the beer peeps they had listed so it might take some convincing to get him to give it a shot!I do not know. It's always a bit of a guessing game, because SMHS doesn't always update their websites in a timely fashion. You can always call and ask. Administration stuff, like websites and newsletters, Facebook, etc. and more for all of St. Mary's City Historical Society is all a one woman show. Sarah 240-895-4977. Last year they only listed 6 brewers as well on the website.
The first year was pretty miserable, but had the potential. We didn't make the second year, but heard it was marginally better. Third year was pretty impressive. Last year was outstanding.
So basing off yearly growth, I would think there would be much more than 6 beer vendors.
Weak! That's no beer fest!
I work for a distributor in NOVA, and work events like this sometimes... the ones down here in somd are weak,
wont ever attend one again since the last one a few years back. Plus I get free beer all day when I work the events lol
