Need something to “Shake Up” the Winter Blahs?
Join us for the 5th Annual Winter Warmer Beer Festival!

Mark your calendars for the 5th Annual Asheville Winter Warmer Beer Festival on Saturday, January 21, 2012, from 3:00 - 7:00pm - provided to you by co-hosts: ThreeSheets:Design, Brews Cruise, Inc., and French Broad Brewing Co.

This year’s Winter Warmer event will be held at the ASHEVILLE CIVIC CENTER again, on the Exhibition Hall level (accessed from Hiawassee Street),
in Downtown Asheville.

But no worries, previous festival goers - all of you that attended this past year’s event can remember that restroom access was in short supply, so this year we’ve already got that covered! We’ve planned for additional restroom facilities, as well as additional food lines, with multiple stations - we appreciate all the patience you’ve extended to us with our “growing pains” from year to year. Thanks to all of you, each year’s festival is bigger and better than the year before - so hopefully, 2012’s Winter Warmer Festival will be the best yet!

We highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance, as the last four years’ events have sold out. This year’s venue allows for more to attend, but we have already received many inquiries about this year’s festival, so don’t miss out on this wonderful Winter Warmer!

Tickets available for online purchase NOW - CLICK HERE!

Purchased tickets prior to January 12th will be mailed, with any tickets purchased online from January 13-21 available at will call.

Music for this year’s festival is still being finalized. A portion of the proceeds will be donated our 4rd year participant - the local non-profit organization, River Link. Please check back soon to see more details for this event. Tickets are $39pp and will include a souvenir mug, samples during the event, and we are still finalizing the caterer(s) that will provide the food for this year’s event.
