New King William brewery to craft a local beer experience (via Tidewater Review)

Enjoy an afternoon dedicated to the pursuit of happiness in Jeffersonian style at the 5th Thomas Jefferson Craft Beer Tasting.

Pair your pints with local foods; shop for works by local artisans and vendors while enjoying performances by local musicians; and explore Jefferson’s octagonal villa—considered his most perfect work of architecture—at a reduced rate.

Experience VIP hospitality at the Craft Beer Tasting with a Jefferson VIP pass, which includes access to a private tent on the rooftop of the villa’s service wing, a special tasting of specialty brews, heavy hors d’oeuvres and more! Pricing for the VIP will be announced soon!

General admission to the Thomas Jefferson Craft Beer Tasting is $30 in advance for 20 tastings, $35 at the door the day of the event; $25 for 10 tastings at the door or $10 for non-tasting admission.

We are thrilled to bring back our popular Revolutionary Beer Fest for its third year on Saturday, April 21, 2018, 1 – 6 PM at the Khedive Shrine Center.

Experience the Revolutionary Beer Fest and celebrate amber suds with historical reverence. We will pay tribute to the history of beer from the earliest days of our nation all the way to today’s beer and cider breweries. Docents and Reenactors will be dressed in period attire, and be sure to visit our very own colonial style tavern! More interested in beer and less in the history? That’s okay too. The event features unlimited free samples of 28 beers from 14 breweries, food available for purchase from your favorite local food trucks, vendors, live music, and more!
