1. Make your game plan
With over 450 different beers in the program, it’s important to make sure you have a plan of attack. Take some time to go through the program and figure out which breweries and beers are on your “must drink” list. Without proper planning you might miss a beer that you wanted to try.
Use the map in this program to figure out where the beers on your “must drink” list are located. There are several beer tents scattered over the grounds, so you need to know what beers you want to try, and where to get them.
2. Pack Supplies
It’s gonna be H-O-T! Like most of the Midwest, Ypsilanti has experienced almost an entire week of 90+ degree temperatures, and the trend is forecasted to continue. You can bring food and beverages with you into the festival (just no GLASS or outside ALCOHOL, and also please observe the festival’s ZERO WASTE policy), so you’ll probably want to bring some water or Gatorade to drink between beers. You don’t want to get dehydrated and miss out on all that beer!
You might also want to pack a few snacks, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
Also, bring your cell phone and follow everyone tweeting from the beer fest with the tag #MIBeerFest.
3. Stay Cool!
Find shade to stay out of the sun and keep cool. There have been a few ideas floating around online on how to stay cool during the sweltering heat at the festival this weekend. The best idea on twitter came from @kev2a—frozen bandanas and washcloths. That sounds like a perfect way to stay cool in this heat.
Have fun, and enjoy lots of Michigan craft beer!
