COVID PRECAUTIONS & OTHER NOTES: - All beer will be served by fully vaccinated servers. - Per the current Durham City/County guidelines, masks are optional, but are strongly encouraged for those who are not fully vaccinated and bosted. - This event is outdoors. It is in May. It could be hot, or cold, or rainy. Be prepared for the elements. This is NC. We'll provide water stations and some tables will have shade, but we encourage you to also bring hats, sunscreen, etc. - Please feel free to bring lawn chairs and/or blankets to set up in the beer garden to listen to the music. There will be lots of seating available, but there will also be room for you to bring your own, if you prefer. - This event is for hoppy beer lovers. Each brewery is bringing beers that showcase hops, so while we are hoping for a great variety, the event will certainly be focused on IPAs, so if you're not into IPAs, this event probably isn't for you. - No outside beverages of any kind will be allowed. - Non-alcoholic drinks and snacks will be available for purchase inside The Glass Jug. - You may enter and exit the beer garden as needed, as long as you still have your wristband. Otherwise, we cannot allow re-entry. FAQs: Q: Can I bring my dog? A: Yes, as long as they stay on lease and you pick up after them. Remember that it is going to be hot outside and there will be a lot of other people, so please keep your dog's welfare in mind, also. Q: Can I bring a lawn chair or umbrella? A: Yes. We will be providing extra seating, but feel free to bring your own chair for hanging out and enjoying the music if that would be more comfortable for you. Q: Can I bring in outside food and drinks? A: Outside food is fine, but we are not allowing outside drinks to avoid people bringing in outside alcohol. We have non-alcoholic beverages for sale at the bar and will have a water station set up during the festival. Cockadoodlemoo Truck will also be here for the entirety of the event serving some delicious food! Q: Can I purchase a ticket at The Jug?
