You cannot spell “Lansdale” without “ale.”
This Saturday, the ale, the IPA, the porter, the stout, the cider – all types of libations – will flow from the taps at Cannoneers Football Field at Fifth Street Park for the 2024 Lansdale Beer Tasting Festival, the 13th one of its kind.
LBTF '24 is a rain-or-shine event, with no rain date.
VIP tickets have sold out, but general admission and designated driver tickets are available now online at $60 and $10, respectively.
If you plan to buy your ticket at the gate when it opens at noon for all admission, then tickets will be $75.
According to organizer Discover Lansdale, more than 40 brewers and distillers are showcasing their liquid wares at one of Lansdale’s most celebrated traditions, running noon to 4 p.m. VIP passholders get in at 11 a.m.
LBTF ’24 is being organized for the first time by Discover Lansdale, with support from previous organizers, civic nonprofit Knights 4 Life.
Far more than just beer is on the menu:
Music will be provided by Mike Greer & Co. and DJ Tone Arm
Food vendors will include Fry's Catering/Scratch Kitchen, Big Red Bites, Rio Dulce Mexican Restaurant, The Tot-Rod, Cannoneers, Buttercup Baking, R&D Specialty Foods, and A*dam Fine Jerky
