This is a 21+ event. IDs will be required at the door. No one under 21 will be admitted (this includes babies in strollers).

General Admission tickets include entry at 8 p.m. for sampling and other fun perks, including games, photo opportunities, music, and more.

General Admission Plus tickets include early entry starting at 7 p.m. for an extra hour of sampling.

Craft beer enthusiasts can purchase a VIP Admission ticket which will allow access to the event two hours prior to General Admission. VIP includes beer sampling, early entry from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. for an extra hour of sampling without the crowds, access to AMALIE Arena's Ashley VIP Lounge, featuring exclusive VIP-only beer and food, and an offer code for a BOGO ticket for one Lightning pre-season game (limited quantities are available and only while supplies last).
