Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 2, 2011 – Flying Saucer will host its Second Annual Fall Beer Festival on Saturday, Oct. 22 from 2 to 9:30 p.m. in front of the Flying Saucer location in downtown Nashville at 111 Tenth Ave. South.
Flying Saucer’s Fall Beer Festival will feature five beer tasting tents each with the featured brews carefully selected by the Flying Saucer’s own resident beer guru, Keith Schlabs, and Nashville Flying Saucer general manager, Brandi Allen.
“Nashville has a great up and coming craft beer scene that allows us to really showcase some rare and unique brews during this festival,” said Brandi Allen, Flying Saucer general manager. “With over 20 different craft beers on-hand for this event, we know that our customers will love sampling and experiencing some great brews.”
Rare and limited release beers will be tapped at staggered times throughout the day and will be announced via Twitter on the Nashville Flying Saucer’s account, @FlyingSaucerNas, on the day of the festival. Festival-goers will be able to sample beers at tents with names coinciding with the beer selections available inside, such as East Coast, West Coast, Texas, Captain’s Picks and the Out of This World. Beer brats, kraut and Bavarian pretzels will also be available for purchase.
Tickets will be available for $25 if purchased online prior to the event and $30 at the door. Online ticket purchasing is available until Oct. 14, after which, ticket prices increase to $30 and will then be available for purchase at the Flying Saucer or at the door on the day of the festival. A ticket purchase allots guests a tasting card that is good for 10 samples of the more than 20 festival beers, some of which will be rare tappings available the day of the festival only, as well as a commemorative Fall Beer Festival tasting glass.
