This Saturday April 12th RVA ROCK$ and Fetch-A-Cure present the first beer festival of the season with OnTap Beer Festival on Mayo Island from Noon to 5pm.  I would be going if I did not have out of town plans so I need you to do a little reporting for me.

First you will need tickets. Tickets are $25 (general admission) or $40 (VIP) if you buy online here.  Ticket prices will go up at the door; $30 GA, $50 VIP.

Got your ticket? Your general admission tikcet gets you unlimited samples of 24 beers from Richmond breweries with live music and a selection of food trucks.  Yes, you can buy a full pint for $6/7 but you can always go back and get another sample of a beer you really like. VIP admission will get you in at 11am plus a catered VIP section, preferred parking, and more.  Designated drivers will be granted FREE admission.

Here are the participating breweries and the beers they will be serving: 

Music will be provided by DJ Carter Baldwin, The Big Payback, and The Downbeat Switch starting at 11am, Noon, and 3pm, respectively.

Thai Cabin, Halligan’s, Burgerworks, Mosaic, Kentico and Red Eye Cookie will be serving food.  

Check the Facebook event and RVA ROCK$ page for more information and updates. So head out, drink some beers, snap some pics  and have a good time.
