Event Description
Truly Unlimited Samples
Enjoy UNLIMITED SAMPLING from over 100 home brewers and breweries with over 200 different fermentations to sample!!!
Ciders, ales, meads, sparkling sodas, seltzers, wine, and more (not sure exactly what “Skeeter Pee” is) There will truly be brews of all kinds! You are given a tasting cup upon entry to fill as many times as you like. We have pour buckets with rinse sprayers for rinsing.
Venue - The Donald L Tucker Civic Center
The 2023 event venue is the The Tuck (Donald L. Tucker Civic Center)! Our goal is give our patrons plenty of space under one, air-conditioned roof. Exit & re-entry will be permitted. And, of course, ample parking ($5 fee). Event space includes both the Exhibit Hall and the Arena floor with VIP in the central meeting room - the entire downstairs!
TLH BeerFest Beer Mile earned its place for another year!
An elite group joined us prior to the VIP hour of the 4th Annual Tallahassee Beer Festival for the 2022 Beer Mile. Registrants receive a race day t-shirt and do 4 laps around the Tuck, chugging a beer before each 1/4 mile.
Food
The Tuck will offer food for purchase on site (think pizza, soft pretzels) ... and, of course, many vendors give out pretzels & snacks. VIP includes free food from multiple restaurants & served throughout the event.
Overnight Guests
Coming in town for the event? We will have a block of rooms reserved. Stay tuned for the group code to access the special rate for TLH Beer Fest patrons.
Tomahawks 51 - Axe Throwing
Tomahawks 51 has been on site for the past two years and we hope to have them once again. If they are, please know a small fee and waiver is required.
This is a 21+ Event
No one under 21 is permitted.
The intent is a 21+ event where there is no question of the age of the attendee (meaning legal drinking age). But, yes, baby strollers are welcome.

Sponsorship Opportunities

First Responders, Teachers, Active Duty Military Discount

SOLD OUT 4 years IN A ROW.
General Admission & VIP Entry
We once again have general admission tickets and VIP entry. VIP grants you advance access to the main breweries area and the reps an hour early (1pm) without any lines or waiting. It will also get you in to the VIP room, complete with private tables & chairs & live music. This is also where we will showcase many of our VIP-only beers. Look for that list as we get closer to the event (about 2 weeks in advance). VIP will include food with the help of Tallahassee Foodies, and a specialty mini mug.
