Q: Do I need tickets?
A: If you want to enjoy the beer, yes you do! We do welcome everyone, including kids and non-drinkers! To be served beer, you must purchase a ticket, and you must have a wristband. No one will be served beer without a wristband. You will get your wristband at the Brewfest gates only after you present your ticket and show your valid state issued photo ID.
Q: How do I get tickets?
A: Tickets are available online beginning in late March or early April and through the event. Tickets can also be purchased the day of the event at Brewfest via credit card and cash.
Q: What are festival times?
A: Friday 5-9pm and Saturday 2-7pm.
Q: Can I bring the kids?
A: Yes! While the beer drinking is for ticket holders, everyone is allowed at the Park.
Q: Can I bring my own beer glass?
A: No. Please leave all non-Brewfest drinking vessels at home. Brewers will only pour into Brewfest plastic cups (issued to all ticket holders) or pint glasses (available for purchase at entry).
Q: Where there be food there?
A: Yes. We prioritize high quality and diverse food vendors from across Fremont County and the state of Wyoming. Come hungry!

A: No. Your Pets can be hurt by the large crowd of people at Brewfest. We take no responsibility for injured pets.
Q: Parking?
A: For locals we recommend walking or biking. If you will be driving, parking is available along Main Street and at the adjacent Lander Valley High School parking lot.
Q: What if it rains or snows?
A: Be prepared with appropriate clothing. A few Brewfests have been chilly and wet, but rain or snow, Lander Brewfest will go on. All ticket sales are final.
Q: Can the mountain altitude and dry climate affect me?
A: Absolutely. Lander is more than a mile high, situated where Wyoming’s high desert meets the Wind River Mountains. We are high and dry, and the sun is intense. We strongly encourage you to remain hydrated — with water.
Q: How do I get one of those nifty pint glasses and t-shirts?
A: You can purchase a pint glass and t-shirt at the ticket tent.
Q: What if I cannot drive or bike home?
A: If you have had too much to drink, please do not drive or bike home! Brewfest provides a Designated Driver Shuttle service. The shuttle will pick up and drop off folks from Lander hotels during Brewfest. See signs at Brewfest for more information.
REMEMBER: Keep Brewfest safe and fun for everyone — please drink responsibly!
