Below you will find the beer list for the 2016 World Beer Festival Columbia, held Saturday, January 23 at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center.
The beer list begins with breweries from South Carolina and North Carolina and then leads into regional, national and imported beers (with cask and VIP beers noted). For the first time ever, World Beer Festival Columbia will also feature a Cider Garden and a section devoted to hard root beers and sodas.
Please note that admittance into the Belgian Bier Festival section requires either a VIP ticket or a separate $15 ticket.
Note: In an effort to showcase a highly diverse range of styles and flavors many of the beers selected are seasonal beers with a limited availability and therefore the list is subject to change.
