The festival will take place at Bethany Beach Ocean Suites and will include unlimited tastings over 20 craft beers from 12 local breweries, plus vendors and beautiful views of Bethany’s beach and Boardwalk. Live music will be provided by Salisbury-born Nashville artist Jimmy Charles and his fiddler, who will open up for Josh Turner at the Ocean City Convention Center the night before.

In addition to the Saturday festival, the Oceanova Spa at Bethany Beach Ocean Suites will be offering spa treatments made with craft beer ingredients all month long. The hotel’s restaurant, 99 Sea Level, will host a beer pairing dinner on Friday night that includes six courses made by award-winning chef Danio Somoza, paired with local beers.
 

General Admission tickets are available, though festival goers from out of town are encouraged to book hotel packages through Bethany Beach Ocean Suites, where they’ll automatically be upgraded to VIP and can enjoy an extra hour of tastings.

General Admission tickets are $35 and VIP tickets are now available for $50. Both include unlimited tastings and a commemorative pint glass. Tickets are limited and can be purchased at shorecraftbeerfest.com/beer-at-bethany. Hotel packages can be purchased by calling the hotel at 302-539-3200.
