• No valid ID or valid ticket, no entry — no exceptions.
• Designated Driver ticket holders must be 21+ and shall not be served alcohol at any point during the event. Those found consuming will be asked to leave and refused re-entry.

• The same goes for our furry friends; no pets, only service animals, are allowed in with an accompanying ticket holder.

Wristbands

• Your session wristband must be visible to staff and volunteers at all times. If you're found without a band, you will be asked to leave and escorted off the festival grounds without re-entry.
• No alcohol shall be served to any Designated Driver. A visible wristband must be on the DD at all times. DDs found consuming alcohol will be asked to leave the festival grounds without re-entry.
• Brewery staff reserves the right to refuse service to any individual who does not cooperate with wristband identification, ticketing policies, or if the attendees show any signs of intoxication.

Beer Samples

• Each beer sample is a 4 oz. pour
• Tasting samples shall only be poured into an official 2024 Keep NH Brewing Festival souvenir glass.
• Beers may be subject to change. The availability of any beer on the tap list for the event is not guaranteed, as we are unable to forecast the demand for certain beers.

Drinking Water

Free, cold water will be available at water stations throughout the festival grounds. We suggest a one-to-one ratio of beer to water during your sampling. You may use your tasting glass or bring an empty water bottle to the event, which will be inspected upon entry. No outside alcohol is permitted.

Food & Retail Vendors

An array of local food trucks, snacks, non-alcoholic beverages, and craft-centric merch from local artisans will be available for purchase for the duration of the festival. Please note that there is no ATM on-site, and make sure to bring cash as most vendors prefer cash only.

Pets

Please leave your furry companions at home. No pets are permitted; only service animals may accompany a ticket holder. Come prepared, and do not leave animals in your car in the heat of summer.

Personal Items 

• Please, no large bags inside the festival grounds. All bags and backpacks may be subject to search.
• Empty water bottles are permitted; however, they are subject to search before entry.
• Lawn chairs and blankets may be brought in; however, the festival is not responsible for any lost or stolen property.
• No outside alcohol, drugs, or weapons of any kind may be brought in.
• Please refrain from smoking or vaping in public. If you must, please seek a designated smoking/vaping area at the far end of the grounds.

The NH Brewers Association is dedicated to providing a harassment-free event experience for everyone, regardless of gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of festival participants, such as— volunteers, staff, vendors, or attendees, in any form.

All communication should be appropriate and inclusive for all audiences, including people of diverse backgrounds, sexual orientations, and cultures. Sexual language and imagery are not appropriate anywhere within the festival grounds. Participants violating these rules may be asked to leave at the sole discretion of the NH Brewers Association and are not permitted re-entry to the event.

Public Intoxication Policy

Brewery staff reserves the right to refuse to serve any individual who does not cooperate with wristband identification, ticketing policy, or if the attendee shows any signs of intoxication.

Please be nice to the brewery staff and volunteers. They do not make the laws, but it is their job to observe them. Please do not ask them to put their jobs or licenses in jeopardy.

Please drink responsibly — call a taxi or arrange for an Uber or Lyft ride home. Better yet, bring a designated driver with you to enjoy the day! DD tickets are available for purchase now or at the door on the day of the event.
