The America On Tap Beer Festival on Saturday, May 30 at Arcadia Creek Festival Site will be a celebration of beers from across the nation. But VIP Access will mean something more.

VIP tickets will mean getting in an hour earlier than general admission patrons, and will help avoid standing in long lines. It also means sampling rare/exclusive beers. Here’s how awesome these are going to be: the beer distributors would normally never put these out for a large festival like this, but they’re making this exception for us.

The America On Tap Event will also be educational as WMU's Brewniversity will host beer trivia for cool prizes. Fireplace and Grill Shoppe will have several sessions of Grilling University where you can learn tips and tricks from the grill masters.

Food won't be taking a back seat to beer at this festival. Finley’s Grill and Smokehouse and Territorial Brewing Company will be providing food. More vendors are expected to be announced in the coming days.

The entertainment will be headlined by The Red Sea Pedestrians, who have performed at Michigan-area venues and festivals including The Ark (Ann Arbor), Wheatland Music Festival (Remus), The Michigan Theater (Ann Arbor), Blissfest Music Festival (Cross Village), the Earthwork Harvest Gathering (Lake City), The Porcupine Mountains Music Festival (Ontonagon), Coopers Glen Music Festival (Kalamazoo), Nor East’r Music Festival (Mio), Bell’s Brewery, Founder’s Brewery (Grand Rapids), LVD’s Concert Hall (Goshen, IN), and both the 2008 and 2010 Jammie Awards (Grand Rapids).
