Food trucks will be onsite for those who work up an appetite after knocking back a few beers. Attendees can enter a raffle for a chance to win cans of new beer releases from some of the featured breweries.
Live acoustic music will be played during the early session. The festival will be capped off with a performance by Philadelphia-based band Flannel, known for its covers of 90s and 2000s rock music, including Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Green Day.
