Get toasty at the Winter Warmer this weekend

Posted on by Mackensy Lunsford

Heading to Winter Warmer Beer Festival this Saturday? It’s highly recommended that you go ahead and purchase your tickets — the last two years sold out. You can find them online here. Tickets are $38 and include a souvenir mug, samples during the event and food provided by Fiore’s Ristorante Toscana. A portion of the proceeds from the festival will be donated to River Link.

This year’s Winter Warmer will be held at the Asheville Civic Center at Exhibition Hall (accessed from Hiawassee Street). The larger venue allows for much more drinking room than in years past, when the festival was held at the Haywood Park Hotel Ballroom.

Brushfire Stankgrass and the Leigh Glass Band will provide entertainment.

Also, stop by the Mountain Xpress table during the event to talk brews with Xpress beer columnist, Anne Fitten Glenn.

At 4 and 5 p.m., Glenn will offer tastes of some of her favorite beers at the festival as well as information about those beers. She’ll pull a few brewers into the discussion as well.

Cheers!

It only takes a moment.

Before you comment

The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.

    Tickets are sold out as of 6:30pm, or thereabouts. Just tried to snag an extra one and it says they’re gone.
