2nd Annual Myrtle Beach Beer Fest

2010 Beer Fest to be expanded

The 2nd Annual Myrtle Beach Beer Fest presented by Piggly Wiggly will take place on March 26-27th at The Market Common and will feature food, live entertainment and much more.

In 2010, we will be adding an additional day to the Beer Fest on Friday night. The session will be from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m.

The Beer Fest will have a different format this year. There will be one session from 12 p.m. – 7 p.m. Admission will be free. Tickets will be sold for $1 each and most 4 oz. samples will be $1 or $2. Higher end beers will be $3 – $6. Everyone sampling the beers will have to purchase a styrene sampling mug for $2 or a glass sampling mug for $3.

This year there will also be a bar at the Beer Fest for people who want to have a full beer instead of sampling a beer.

This will be your chance to sample over 100 beers from around the world. We have tried to create a beer menu that will have something for everyone and highlights the great craft beers from across the country.

Following is a tentative schedule for the 2010 Beer Fest.
