Port City Brewing hosting third annual Port to Port Beer Festival this Saturday

For those pursuing hoppiness this weekend, look no further than the Port City Brewing Company’s third annual Port to Port Beer Festival on Saturday (Aug. 8).

From noon to 4 p.m., more than 20 breweries from across the country are bringing their best brews for the festival at Port City (3950 Wheeler Avenue). Tickets cost $60 and get you a bottomless five-ounce glass for unlimited pours, access to outdoor yard games and music from a DJ.

Festivalgoers can also upgrade their tickets with a VIP breakfast burrito brunch starting at 11 a.m.

Port City will also release WitFerrari, a new collaboration with Richmond-based The Veil.

“WitFerrari is an American-style Wit which highlights the talents of both breweries,” Port City said in a release. “WitFerrari has a smooth, creamy mouthfeel with a sunny light-yellow color, subtle citrus notes, and a balanced, rounded bitterness. Festival-goers will be able to taste the beer during the event and take home a 4-pack if they fall in love!”
