Press Release:

Brewers from around the world will converge on Saint Petersburg for Shelton Brothers’ The Festival.

The Festival, presented by Shelton Brothers, is an annual craft beer and cider festival in a different city every year, and this year we’re bringing it to the Tampa area. The craft beer scene in Florida — and specifically the Tampa/St. Pete area — is one of the best and most up-and-coming in the country, and we’re thrilled to be hosting our event there this year.

What: The Festival 2015
Where: The Coliseum in St. Pete, FL
When: October 16 & 17

We work with some of the smallest and most sought-after breweries in the world and in the U.S., including Cantillon and Drie Fonteinen in Belgium, Hill Farmstead in Vermont, Side Project in Missouri, and many, many more.

What makes our festival really unique is that all the brewers fly in from all over the U.S. and all over the world — from Europe to Japan to New Zealand — to pour their wares and talk about them to fest-goers. And we’ll have more than 90 breweries represented at this year’s fest.

We also love to showcase the best local breweries at each year’s “Moveable Fest,” and this year will include the very best from Florida, including Green Bench, Cycle Brewing, Cigar City, Funky Buddha, St. Somewhere, and more. The full list can be found here: http://sheltonbrothers.com/festival

We’ll have three sessions — one on Friday and two on Saturday — and each is four hours long. Tickets are $65 for a session or $175 for the entire weekend, and all drink pours are included in the price.
