Brewery Vivant's Wood-Aged Beer Fest is one of the sweetest days of the year for fans of sour beer. The fifth annual event is set for September 19.

Brewery Vivant's 5th Annual Wood-Aged Beer Festival is Saturday, September 19th in the parking lot behind the brewery. This year, there will be two tasting sessions: 1:00PM - 4:00PM and 5:00PM - 8:00PM. Over 20 beers will be available.

Tickets are $35 and include 10 tokens, a collector's edition tasting glass, and drinks. Tickets are available now.

“We’re hoping with more tokens in your glass from the start, less people on the grounds at once, and a map to guide you, this year’s festival will be the best one yet,” says Kate Avery, Abbess of Beer and Director of Sales & Marketing, “We’re glad to share it with more enthusiasts by offering two sessions this year.”

Wood-aging beers goes back to early beer brewing traditions when vessels were all made of wood and brewers worked to blend flavors.

Brewery Vivant will bring out old favorites and new never-before-tasted experiments. Love Shadow, a bourbon barrel-aged Imperial stout, will be on hand as will a cellared Wizard Burial Ground (2014 vintage bourbon barrel-aged quadrupel).

Brewery Vivant will be open for business as usual on September 19. The festival grounds will operate separately.
