🍺 NC Annual Hops Fest 2025 🥳

Event Page
Tickets: $51.75***
*It's more expensive than it's been in the past, but it's well worth the cost.

NC Hops Fest, hosted by Brewgaloo, is an early summer beer tasting event. If you've been to Brewgaloo, it's similar (but better in my opinion.) Your flat rate ticket gets you unlimited samples (like the Friday night Brewgaloo event, but unlike the Saturday event.) NC Hops Fest lasts longer and is usually calmer than Brewgaloo, as well.

They'll have live music, food trucks, local vendors, and, of course, local beverage samples galore. It's a great way to discover or test out a lot of local breweries in one day, in one place. The link above has a list (ever-growing) of businesses that'll be present, in case you see one you've been curious to visit.

You get a commemorative shot glass for your samples, too!

TIMING:
The event is from 12:00 - 5:00.
I plan to arrive by 12:00 and probably stay ~2 hours.
I won't be able to handle 5 hours, and it's not an event that takes 5 hours to experience. I'm setting this event as 12:00 - 5:00 in case people would like to arrive at different times and use this page to coordinate.
