We See Beer and Brats in Your Future

By Jillian Manning | May 21, 2022

The 15th annual Michigan Beer and Brat Festival is making a comeback Saturday, May 28, at Crystal Mountain in Thompsonville. Brews, ciders, wine, and spirits offer a taste for everyone while the heady scent of gourmet brats from NoMi markets fills the air. Go for VIP admission ($75) starting at 3pm and get a commemorative beer glass (complete with a lanyard glass-holder to keep your hands free for those brats), 20 event tickets, and two special edition beers. General admission ($50; $60 day of) starts at 4pm and includes the beer glass and 10 tickets. Before you get too excited, that doesn’t mean you get 10-20 drinks and brats. Full pours range from 3-6 tickets depending on the vendor, while a half brat is worth 2 tickets and a full brat 4. (If you need more tickets, they’re available for $1 a piece.)
