Huntsville, Ala. (May 14, 2024) - The “Stadium Series” beverage festivals at Wicks Family Field at Joe Davis Stadium kick off Saturday, June 1 with the inaugural Beer Cup taking place from 5 to 7:30 p.m. CT. More than 20 breweries will be on hand, including Yellowhammer Brewing, Straight to Ale, and Back Forty Brewing Company. The Beer Cup is the first of three beverage-themed festivals taking place at The Joe this year (Wine Cup on July 13 and Spirits Cup on Oct. 12).
“Huntsville is a city known for its craft breweries and beer enthusiasts, with beer makers found all across the metro,” said Chad Emerson, Huntsville City FC Managing Director of Business Operations. “We look forward to celebrating those breweries and providing them with the opportunity to showcase their craft for Huntsvillians and visitors from across the region during another great event at The Joe this spring."
In addition to enjoying samplings from the more than 20 breweries showcasing their suds, attendees can add an enhanced tasting experience, which allows them to sample drinks specially made for the event. For those looking to enjoy more than drinks, Beer Cup goers can also purchase gifts and souvenirs at one of the festival's many pop-up shops, including Liquor Express/Open Bottle and Pour House Huntsville, view local art on display, and enjoy live music and entertainment from Microwave Dave.
