NEW FOR 2011!
5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Pay one price to sample craft brews from brewers all over Mississippi.

Jacktoberfest is dedicating a portion of the festival site for a Craft Brew Beer Garden. The general public is invited to purchase a $10 Jacktoberfest souvenir pint glass and enter the garden for local craft brew samples provided by the competition brewers. Each festival attendee who purchases the pint glass will also be eligible to vote in the Peoples’ Choice Award. The garden will be open to the public and craft brewers between a 5 p.m. and 7 p.m happy hour.

Jack encourages craft brewers who enter the competition to bring additional quantities of beer for the public and other competing brewers to sample. We also ask that sample pours be no more than 3-4 ounces to give as many people the opportunity to sample your beer as possible (and the possibility of more peoples’ choice votes!) Sample pouring will take place ONLY between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tables will be made available for brewers to set up, meet and greet others.

If you are a competing brewer and plan to participate in the Craft Brew Beer Garden, please make sure to let us know by filling out the appropriate information on the online entry form.
