Benson Beer Fest June 2nd

A few more notes about the upcoming Benson Beer Fest

When: Sat, Jun 2 from 4:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Where: 6200 Military Ave, Omaha

From the Facebook event page:

The Spring Block Party is growing up. It's been a huge success. But how do you make a great afternoon in the out-of-doors even better? Add more beer. Jake's Cigars, Krug Park, the Waiting Room and Beercade are throwing a massive beer festival! With hundreds of beers for you to try, this event is one that you can't miss!

We'll have reps from
New Belgium
Boulevard
Upstream
Empyrean
Tallgrass
Lucky Bucket
Nebraska Brewing
Odell
Modern Monks
and more TBA

- Local Homebrewer groups S.O.Bs and Railroaders will be here to show off their craft!

- Live music from Brad Hoshaw, The Brad Cordle Band & The Matt Cox Band.

- You can't drink this much on an empty stomach, so Lot 2, Espana & Papa Chris' Chicago Originals will be serving up tasty vittles.

- You'll need something to hold these samples in, so boom, we're giving a Benson Beer Fest glass to the first 500 patrons! You will cherish it, because it got you drunk.

-We'll also be raffling tons of great prizes throughout the day!

- Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 day-of.

Does anyone have more info on this? Does the entry fee include unlimited tastes, or only so many with additional costing extra, or what? I assume the food is not included.

I'm 95% certain it's unlimited tasting. Actually, I don't think I've been to any Nebraska festivals that were not unlimited. Yes, food is extra.
