In celebration of our 20th Anniversary of World Beer Festival Durham, we’ll be hosting an evening gathering on the Friday night before the festival. Having been dubbed Durham’s Largest Brewer Happy Hour, this Seasonal Beer Showcase event will feature six-ounce pours of seasonal beers from 20 breweries, plus live music, food and a commemorative glass. This event will be held from 4:30-8:30 p.m. on Friday night at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. It is independent of Saturday’s World Beer Festival Durham and requires a separate ticket ($30).
