Edmonton Beer Geeks Anonymous - Real Ale Festival 2017

It’s back!!! 32 Western Canadian breweries confirmed; list to follow shortly.

WHEN: 9 September 2017, 1pm - 8pm
WHERE: Ritchie Community League Hall (7727 98 street)

2017 marks the 6th iteration of EBGA Real Ale Festival, and as with last year, we’re hosting the event out-of-doors!

The venue is the outdoor hockey rink at the Ritchie Community League. The outdoor hockey rink gives the event a larger space, allowing more patrons, and opening up the event to the fresh air seems to fit well with naturally conditioned ales!

Even though the EBGA Real Ale Festival is growing, it is still the same price as last year. The $30 admission ticket gets you:

- 1 (one) custom EBGA Real Ale Festival 2017 take-home glass
- 1 (one) event re-entry wristband
- 3 (three) beer tokens, 5oz per token
- 1 (one) door prize draw ticket

Additional samples of these one-off real ales will be sold at the same rate as previous years:
5oz of Real Ale = $1.50
10oz of Real Ale = $3.00

Patrons should note that ALL of the firkins will be tapped at the beginning of the EBGA Real Ale Festival and pour until the firkins run dry! Availability will be on a first-come, first-served, first-enjoyed basis!

Food at EBGA Real Ale Festival will be available from a favourite local establishment:

Old Country Meat & Deli will be featuring a selection of traditional pub fare (meat pies, scotch eggs, sausage rolls)

Please remember to bring either an electronic (preferred), or paper copy of your Eventbrite ticket to EBGA Real Ale Festival. Note also that additional tokens for 5oz or 10oz pours of cask ale will be sold via cash only.
