Posted by Mapuana Andrade on Tuesday, May 14th, 2019 at 2:50pm

Get ready for tasty food, live music and tastings from dozens of local and national craft breweries — the 11th Annual Maui Brewers Festival is headed to the Maui Arts and Cultural Center later this month.

On May 18, one of Maui’s top festivals will feature fare from local restaurants and caterers at no additional charge, as well as the opportunity to sample libations from dozens of celebrated brewers. There will also be live music featuring Yum Yum Beast, Riddum Station and Flat Jackson, door prizes and a homebrew competition, where you can see how your brew stands up to the rest.  

Don't like beer? Sip on hard cider, hard kombucha and root beer, as well as other non-alcoholic beverages offered at the event. You can do so knowing that all of it is going to a good cause — the Maui Brewers Festival is one of the MACC’s largest fundraising events of the year.

The event runs from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m., but a VIP ticket will get you in the doors at 2 p.m. for an exclusive tasting. You’ll also get ten 4 oz. beer tastings, access to rare beer throughout the event, first dibs at food from over 20 vendors, a beer lanyard and special access to prize giveaways.

Everyone who attends will get a commemorative tasting glass, and those with general admission tickets will get eight 4 oz. beer tastings. Tickets cost $120 for VIP, $65 for general admission and $55 for designated drivers.
