Breweries – we know our event sounds great but we’re sure you have questions, too. Look through these FAQs below. Additional information can also be found in our Event Overview for Participating Breweries.

How does my brewery, winery, distillery participate?
Participating breweries are asked to supply their beer, taps and personnel to serve. We’ll provide ice for jockey boxes and potable ice as well. Each brewery will be asked to offer at least 2 varieties. Breweries will be doing tasting pours into provided 4oz plastic cups. Distilleries and wineries will be provided the same cups but do smaller tasting pours accordingly (or use your own cups). We will notify you of registration volume in advance so you can determine how much beer and product to bring for the expected attendance. Arrive as early as 9:30AM. Be set up by 11:30 AM and VIP early admission starts at Noon. Main Session admission and tasting pours start at 2pm and go until 5pm. .

What does this cost?
Basically your “cost” is the product you bring and your labor for the day. That said, breweries will get a $400 Bash Bonus and wineries and distilleries get a $100 Bash Bonus (plus they can sell their product at the event) to help offset product and labor costs.
What do we need to bring, what will you supply?
You bring your beer, taps, jockey boxes, serving personnel and any signage about your beer you want to display. We provide an 8ft. table, linen table cover, chairs, ice, token box and any assistance you may need in getting set up. Prior to the event, we’ll need your business logo and a brief description of your brewery, winery, distillery for our website, signage and other promotions (we can also pull this from your website and get your okay). If you participated in 2025, we likely already have what we need.
How does the VIP part work and how can we be part of it?
A VIP Session attendee gets them in the event from Noon-3pm. The idea is that if some breweries have limited “special” beers that are different from what they are otherwise pouring, this would be the time to offer them. Same with wineries and distilleries. VIP attendance will be limited so they will have a more intimate setting to speak with you about your products and business. Heavy appetizers and other food items will also be served during the VIP session and are included in admission. In 2024, we had a special VIP lounge, this year we will still have that area available to all attendees but will open the main floor as well. So people can circulate and not feel crowded. This upstairs area will also be available to the Main Session attendees.
How will this be promoted?
The Bucks Beer Bash is getting buzz already with over 1,000 attendees from the 2025 event, we expect it to be even bigger for 2026. The event will be promoted heavily through online advertising, local Bucks and Montgomery County print and online publications, PA craft beer enthusiast and local event websites, targeted email campaigns, online newsletters and of course our event website and Facebook pages. Additionally, we will supply each participating business with some signage and other promotional items for your tasting rooms as well as Bash logo files and links for the event to put on your websites and Facebook pages.
Will it only be breweries participating? What about wineries and distilleries?
Great question! while we call this the Bucks Beer Bash, we welcome local wineries and distilleries to participate. You get a $100 Bash Bonus plus YOU can sell your products at the Event. Just be sure to bring appropriate packaging for the guests and please let them know they cannot consume their purchase at the event! Just complete the participation reply form to get started.
