Pour at a Booth
Join fellow beverage alcohol producers with a festival booth. Get your brands in front of more than 40,000 adoring fans over the course of three sessions. Breweries will have the opportunity to serve up to five beers via draught or packaged product from your space, and the opportunity to serve one additional packaged non-alcohol and/or “beyond beer” product (cider, Ready to Drink (RTD) cocktails, seltzer, hard soda, hard tea, hard kombucha, other malt-based beverages). Only beer or cider containing alcohol may be served via draught at brewery booths. Breweries wishing to serve more than one non-alcohol or beyond beer product (RTDs are excluded, brewery pouring tables are limited to one RTD option) can substitute those products (packaged only) for standard beer entries during the registration process. Breweries registering for a booth are asked to send a minimum of 2 to 3 brands to be served at their space and provide booth staff for each session of the festival (additional volunteer assistance is available for in-line pouring spaces).
If you are an RTD producer and wish to pour more than one RTD option at a pouring space, you can register separately for an RTD pouring booth during the registration process.
We make the process as easy as possible by providing access to the MicroStar keg program for no-cost access to kegs for festival beers. We also work to alleviate shipping costs for your festival beers by providing over 25 different festival beer drop-off points that will consolidate your beer shipments and send them to the festival on your behalf.
Breweries can sign up to pour at an inline booth located in one of the five experience areas or at a Meet The Brewer booth during the early registration window (May 13-June 3, 2025) and enjoy the following benefits:
- A FREE inline booth or Meet the Brewer inline booth with a 6’ (inline) or 8’ (Meet The Brewer) table (a $250 value).
- Includes four (free) brewery rep badges (7 for Meet the Brewer spaces) for your brewery reps to work the booth.
- One FREE GABF 2025 competition entry (a $185 value).
- That’s $435 in savings!
* Pricing for breweries registering for a festival booth after June 3, 2025 is $150 for Brewers Association members, and $300 for non-members. Breweries registering after June 3 are not eligible for the free GABF 2025 competition entry.
RTD producers can also register for an inline pouring space starting on May 13, 2025 for $250 with the option to serve up to five different packaged RTD brands.
