Beer Festival Tips

• Cash and Card: Bring both cash and cards. While beer festivals are  becoming more cashless, some smaller vendors might still prefer cash. Also, having cash avoids long ATM lines.
• Tips Amount: Tips are no more than 10 to 15% of the beer or food price.
• Book Accommodation Early: Beer festivals attracts more visitors every year, so accommodation fills up quickly. Book your hotel or Airbnb well in advance to secure a comfortable stay.
• Hydration Tip: Drink water between beers to pace yourself.
