Oahu get ready for the Real Beer Festival.  Hosted by Real A Gastropub the festival will be held on Saturday, July 27th, in the parking lot across of Ward 16 Theatres.  The Real Festival will feature 50 plus craft beers from Hawaii, mainland U.S., and international breweries as well as live entertainment from those classic rock, funk, progressive bluegrass, a blues ensemble and current rock bands you love to listen to at Real.

Real owner Troy Terorotua tells me they are still confirming the participating breweries and restaurants, but you can be sure there are going to be some amazing one of a kind beers at this festival.  Tickets are $60.00 each, plus processing fee, and include a commemorative event beer mug, eight four ounce brew tasting coupons, unlimited sampling of beer centric food dishes, a leisurely afternoon with live entertainment and free parking.  Tickets are available in advance only and are available to purchase online now.  The festivals capacity is roughly 3,000, so don’t wait to get your tickets as it is sure to sell out.

Proceeds from the Real Beer Festival will go to help two local non-profit organizations, ʻĀINA In Schools and the Blue Planet Foundation.  ʻĀINA (Actively Integrating Nutrition & Agriculture) In Schools is a farm-to-school initiative that connects children to their local land, waters, and food in order to grow a healthier Hawaii. Blue Planet Foundation is committed to ending the use of fossil fuels on Earth, starting in Hawaii.

Stay tuned for updates on brewery, beer and food lists.  But don’t wait to get your tickets.
