Asheville Brews Cruise Winter Warmer Festival

Need something to “Shake Up” the Winter Blahs?

Join us for the 5th Annual Winter Warmer Beer Festival!

Mark your calendars for the 5th Annual Asheville Winter Warmer Beer Festival on Saturday, January 21, 2012, from 3:00 - 7:00pm - provided to you by co-hosts: ThreeSheets:Design, Brews Cruise, Inc., and French Broad Brewing Co.

This year’s Winter Warmer event will be held at the ASHEVILLE CIVIC CENTER again, on the Exhibition Hall level (accessed from Hiawassee Street), in Downtown Asheville.

But no worries, previous festival goers - all of you that attended this past year’s event can remember that restroom access was in short supply, so this year we’ve already got that covered! We’ve planned for additional restroom facilities, as well as additional food lines, with multiple stations - we appreciate all the patience you’ve extended to us with our “growing pains” from year to year. Thanks to all of you, each year’s festival is bigger and better than the year before - so hopefully, 2012’s Winter Warmer Festival will be the best yet!

We highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance, as the last four years’ events have sold out. This year’s venue allows for more to attend, but we have already received many inquiries about this year’s festival, so don’t miss out on this wonderful Winter Warmer!

For any additional information, or questions about this event, please email us at info@ashevillebeerfest.com
